Step-by-step explanation:

1. 1/4(x + 12)=2 - first isolate X'

- 12 -12

2. 1/4(x) = -10 - 1/4 since its a fraction, you'll have to subtract not divide

-1/4 - 1/4

3. x = -10.25

Andre did the first step correctly, but on the second step he just divided 1.4 by -10, instead of subtract 1/4 from both sides.

What is the solution set of |-x|=-10?

Airida [17]

There is no solution. Because the absolute value function finds the distance between the number and 0. And length is never negative.

So, |-x| = -10 has no solution.

I think the answer may be D. You can graph the points and draw a line through the points to see what other points are intersected by the line.

do you think that a negative sign affects whether or not a number is rational number? Use -8/5 an example.

lina2011 [118]

-8/5 is a rational number because in order to be a rational number it must be able to be written as a fraction. -8/5 is a fraction; therefore, the negative does not affect it.
