Answer:
This is absolute value equation so collect like terms and find X
15+5=|x|
20=|x|
since it's absolute value it's going to be 20 or -20
You have to muliply it all togeather to get the exact answer. 4 times 10 equals 40 40 times 3 equals 120 then 120 times 6 equals 720 and thats the right answer
14.
4(5.6) = 4(6.0 - 0.4) = 4(6.0) - 4(0.4) = 22.4
16.
4(6 + 7) = 4(6) + 4(7) = 52
18.
14(10 - 5) = 14(10) - 14(5) = 70
1 people eat 3/8 pound of potato salad lets reoresent it:
x=3/8
Lets say n is the value of how many people ate with 7 people
7x=n
now substitute
7x=n
7(3/8)=n
21/8=n
n=2 5/8
Answer is C
<3 and <7
