The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.
For the equation
-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14
rearrange terms to get
|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4
Now,
• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that
-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
In the first case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4
<em>x</em> = 37/8
In the second case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4
<em>x</em> = 3/8
Answer:
72 m\ p.h.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have 60 minute in one hour
we must divide 60 by 5=12
then 6*12=72!!!
it is very easy
Answer: B or 52

Received math class requested 315 64 379
Did not get math class requested 41 80 121
Total 356 144 500
Honor roll: request granted: 315/356 = 0.88 x 100% = 88%
Not Honor roll request granted: 64/144 = 0.44 x 100% = 44%
Honor roll students were given preference in granting request than those not in the honor roll.</span>
