How do you solve this absolute value equation? ∣x−2∣=∣4+x∣

L x - 2 l = l 4 + x l

Remember : Absolute is just the distance from zero.

Ex : l -4 l turns into 4, as it is 4 spaces away from zero on a number line :)

l x - 2 l turns into x + 2

l 4 + x l stays the same.

So, our equation now looks like this :

x + 2 = 4 + x

So, we're basically just trying to get x by itself.

So, subtract 2 from both sides.

x = 4 + x - 2

Then, subtract x from both sides.

x - x = 4 -2 

0 = 2

Therefore, there are no solutions to this equation :)

~Hope I helped!~

At a greengrocer, two bananas and one apple cost ?1.16 and one banana and one apple cost ?0.71. How much does one apple cost?
Blababa [14]

Answer

Find out the how much does one apple cost .

To prove

Let us assume that the number of bananas be x .

Let us assume that the number of apples be y .

As given

At a greengrocer, two bananas and one apple cost $1.16 .

Than the equation becomes

2x + y = 1.16

one banana and one apple cost $0.71.

Than the equation becomes

x + y = 0.71

Subtracting x + y = 0.71 from 2x + y = 1.16

2x - x + y - y = 1.16 - 0.71

x = 0.45

Put in the equation x + y = 0.71

0.45 + y = 0.71

y = 0.71 - 0.45

y = $0.26

Therefore the cost of the one apple is  $0.26 .

Two integers will be randomly selected from the sets above, one integer from set A and one integer from set B. What is the proba
Fittoniya [83]

Question:

A = {2, 3, 4, 5}

B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

Two integers will be randomly selected from the sets above, one integer from set A and one integer from set B. What is the probability that the sum of the two integers will equal 9?

A. 0.15

B. 0.20

C. 0.25

D. 0.30

E. 0.33

Answer:

Option B: 0.20 is the probability of the sum of the two integers.

Explanation:

The sample space for selecting 2 numbers is given by

4\times 5 = 20

We need to determine the probability that the sum of two integers will be equal to 9.

Hence, we need to add the two integers from the sets A and B such that their sum will be equal to 9.

Hence, the sets are (2,7),(3,6),(4,5),(5,4)

Thus, the total number of sets whose sum is equal to 9 = 4

The probability that the sum of the two integers will equal 9 is given by

P=\frac{4}{20}

P=\frac{1}{5}

P=0.20

Thus, the probability that the sum of the two integers will equal 9 is 0.20

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
