Answer:
183
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of a number is the number's distance from zero, which will always be a positive value. To find the absolute value of a number, drop the negative sign if there is one to make the number positive.
Answer:
She went on the slide 8 times and on the roller coaster 4 times
Step-by-step explanation:
We convert each statements to a mathematical equation.
Firstly, let's represent the number of times she went on the coaster with R and the number of times on the slide with S. We know quite well she went on 12 rides. Hence the summation of both number of times yield 12.
Mathematically, R + S = 12. ........(i)
Now we also know her total wait time was 3hours. Since an hour equals 60 minutes, her total wait time would equal 180 minutes.
To get a mathematical representation for the wait time, we multiply the number of roller coaster rides by 25 and that of the slides by 10.
Mathematically, 25R + 10S = 180 .......(ii)
Here we now have two equations that we can solve simultaneously.
From equation 1 we can say R = 12 - S. We can then substitute this into equation 2 to yield the following:
25(12 - s) + 10s = 180
300 - 25s + 10s = 180
300 - 25s + 10s = 180
300 - 15s = 180
15s = 300 - 180
15s = 120
S = 120/15
S = 8
S = 8 , and R = 12 - S = 12 - 8 = 4
Answer:
Slope = rise / run
= -12 / 1500 (It's -12 and not 12 because a drop means it's decreasing)
= -0.008
I did not even understand that equation
a = 30
a = 16
-a² + 46a -480 = 0
(-a + 30) (a -16) = 0
(-a)(a) + (-a)(-16) + 30(a) + 30(-16) = 0
-a² + 16a + 30a -480 = 0
-a² + 46a - 480 = 0
(-a + 30) = 0 ; (a - 16) = 0
-a = -30 ; a = 16
a = 30
To check:
a = 30
-(30)² + 46(30) - 480 = 0
-900 + 1380 - 480 = 0
480 - 480 = 0
0 = 0
a = 16
-(16)² + 46(16) - 480 = 0
-256 + 736 - 480 = 0
480 - 480 = 0
0 = 0
