Can someone help me with this math problem? I have no idea where to begin. Solve: |y + 8| ≥ 3

1 answer:

Since y+8 is positive, you don't have to find the absolute value since the absolute value is y+8. all you have to do is find a number that makes the statement true for y. the symbol between next to the 3 asks for a number that is greater or equal to 3. So your answer would be

≥-5

Here, I'll do the first one for you.
When they are talking about a number, use "x".
Since it says twice a number, you say 2x. Or 3x for three times the number
2x+12=3x-31
Then use algebra to find x. Get the numbers on one side and all the x's on the other.
2x+12+31=3x-31+31
2x+43-2x=3x-2x
x=43

Now do the rest on your own!

SVEN [57.7K]

A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn. Let use "W" to represent the Wheat and let use "C" to represent the corn. Hence, we have below:
W=C+480

The farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn and the area of the wheat is 300 acres less than the area of the corn:
W-0.8W=C-0.25C+300
0.2W=0.75C+300
We have two equations, two unknowns:
0.2(C+480)=0.75C+300
0.2C+96=0.75C+300
0.55C=294
C=534.55

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$\fbox{\begin{minipage}{3.5em}338 (ft)\end{minipage}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem could be simplified as following:

Given:

The radius of a circle O is 26 feet.

Solve for:

The length of arc on circle O that measures 13 radians

Solution:

Step 1: Let's find out the correct formula to apply:

The formula to calculate the length of an arc measuring x radians on a circle with radius r feet is:

L = r*x

Step 2: Let's put the data into formula to work out the length L of arc:

L = 26*13 = 338 (ft)

=> The distance that a horse does on the outer edge travel when the carousel rotates through 13 radians: L = 338 (ft)

Hope this helps!
