Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 vertical lines about  the letters mean ' the absolute value of' . That is if a  or b have negative values then the absolute value will be the positive . For example if a = -4 then |a| = 4. The absolute value is always positive.

Therefore, for example, if a is 2 and b = -2 then |a| will be equal to |b|, because they both have a value of 2.

Answer:

  a = ±b

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical bars are the symbol for "absolute value", so the equation is saying, "the absolute value of 'a' is equal to the absolute value of 'b'." The absolute value is the magnitude of a number, so, for example, |-3| = 3.

If the magnitudes of two numbers are the same, they may be the same value, or they may differ in sign.

Find the increase in price of a single piece of design, when crafts design price is increased by 45% which makes a buyer to buy
Volgvan

Answer: Original price = $43.10, Increase = $19.40, Final price = $62.50

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the original price, then

8x(1.45) < $500

x

x < $43.10

Increase is 0.45x

0.45($43.10)

= $19.40

Final price is Original + Increase

$43.10 + $19.40

= $62.50

HEYYYY GUYYYSSS HELPP MEEE, ILL MARK YOU BRAINIEST. PLEEEAAASEEEE thankkyouu

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A dependent variable in an expression is one whose value can be determined only when the value of other variable (i.e independent) is known.

A. The cost at the fitness center depends on the number of months (x).

The cost is the dependent variable, and number of months (x) is the independent variable.

f(x) = 100 + 40x

Example, the cost paid for 12 months can be determined as;

f(12) = 100 + 40(12)

       = 100 + 480

       = 580

Thus, $580 would be paid for 12 months at the fitness center.

B. The lettuce is sold at $1.69 per pound. The cost depends on the number of pounds of lettuce bought.

The cost is the dependent variable, while the number of pounds of lettuce (x) bought is the independent variable.

So that;

f(x) = 1.69x

The cost of 10 pounds of lettuce can be determined as;

f(x) = 1.69(10)

     = 16.9

Thus, the cost of 10 lb of lettuce is $16.90.
