The absolute value of a number is never a negative number because <span>absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative.</span>

Because when you find the absolute value you're finding the distance a number is from zero without considering its sign ( + or -).

How many solutions does the following equation have?<br> |3x + 12| = 18 (5 points)
DedPeter [7]

Answer: 2 solutions.

The given equation breaks down into these two equations

3x+12 = 18 and 3x+12 = -18

Basically 3x+12 equal to plus 18 and minus 18. This is due to the fact that something like |x| = 7 means x = 7 or x = -7, ie those x values are exactly seven units away from zero on the number line.

If you want to solve each equation, then

3x+12 = 18

3x = 18-12

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2 is one solution

and

3x+12 = -18

3x = -18-12

3x = -30

x = -30/3

x = -10 is the other solution

The sum of three consecutive numbers is equal to 4 times the largest number minus 29. What is the smallest of the three numbers?
gulaghasi [49]

The smallest of the three consecutive integers is 24.

<h3>How to solve algebraic word problems?</h3>

Let the 3 consecutive integers be;

x, y and z

Thus;

y = x + 1

z = x + 2

Now, we are told that their sum is equal to 4 times the largest number minus 29. Thus;

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4(x + 2) - 29

3x + 3 = 4x + 8 - 29

4x - 3x = 3 + 21

x = 24

Thus, we can conclude that the smallest of the three consecutive integers is 24.

Answer:

  A. see below for a graph

  B. f(x, y) = f(0, 15) = 90 is the maximum point

Step-by-step explanation:

A. See below for a graph. The vertices are those defined by the second inequality, since it is completely enclosed by the first inequality: (0, 0), (0, 15), (10, 0)

__

B. For f(x, y) = 4x +6y, we have ...

  f(0, 0) = 0

  f(0, 15) = 6·15 = 90 . . . . . the maximum point

  f(10, 0) = 4·10 = 40

_____

<em>Comment on evaluating the objective function</em>

I find it convenient to draw the line f(x, y) = 0 on the graph and then visually choose the vertex point that will put that line as far as possible from the origin. Here, the objective function is less steep than the feasible region boundary, so vertices toward the top of the graph will maximize the objective function.
