Lets solve the equation first:
<span> 0.5 – |x – 12| = –0.25
</span>= 1/2 - |x - 12| = -1/4
= 2 - 4<span>|x - 12| = -1
= 4|x - 12| = 3
= |x - 12| = 0.75
positive case, x >= 12
x - 12 = 0.75
x = 12.75
negative case, x < 12
x - 12 = -0.75
x = 11.25
So those are the two solutions.
These apply:
</span>1.) The equation will have no solutions.
2.) A good first step for solving the equation is to subtract 0.5 from both sides of the equation.
<span>3.) A good first step for solving the equation is to split it into a positive case and a negative case.
</span><span>5.) The negative case of this equation is x – 12 = –0.75.</span>
Your answer is 80. your answer
how long is |MN| when you measure it and do you know anything about the length of |NO| and |OP|?
assuming |MN|= 7.7 ; |NO|= 4.7 ; |MO|= 5.5:
o²= m²+n²
= 4.7²+5.5²
=52.34
o=V52.34
≈7.23
