An absolute value is the distance from 0 on a number line so it must be a positive number, and so because of that it is impossible to get or equal -1, this equation has no solution.

Find the difference vertically( North and South) and the difference horizontally ( East and West)

Then use the Pythagorean Theorem.

600 North - 200 South = 400 m

400 West - 100 East = 300 m

Now using the Pythagorean Theorem;

400^2 + 300^2 = total displacement^2

Total displacement^2 = 160,000 + 90,000

Total displacement^2 = 250,000

Total displacement = √250,000

Total displacement = 500 m

A pile of coins, consisting of quarters and half dollars, it worth $11.75. If there are 2 more quarters than half dollars, how m

lord [1]

Let the number of half dollars be x,

number of quarters = x + 2
amount of half dollars = 0.5x
amount of quarters = 0.25(x + 2)
= 0.25x + 0.5
total amount = 0.5x + 0.25x + 0.5
= 0.75x + 0.5
0.75x + 0.5 = 11.75
0.75x = 11.25
x = 15
number of quarters = x + 2
= 15 + 2
= 17

There are 17 quarters and 15 half dollars.
