With negative numbers the larger the number the lower the value. For example -2 is less than -1
The order from least to greatest would be:
-12, -4.3, -1 1/2
The answer would be 0 solutions.
Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?
That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!
Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.
Let's put in -6.
-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6
Let's try 3.
3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3
Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.
So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?
None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive!
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.
Answer:
x = 1/5
y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
System:
{5x + y = 7
{20x + 2 = y
First equation:
5x + y = 7 -> y = -5x + 7
Plug into second equation:
20x + 2 = -5x + 7
Subtract 2 from both sides:
20x = -5x + 5
Add 5x to both sides:
25x = 5
Divde both sides by 25:
x = 5/25 -> 1/5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Come back to the first equation:
5x + y = 7
Plus in our x:
5(1/5) + y = 7
Multiply:
1 + y = 7
Subtract 1 from both sides:
y = 6
Hope this helps, have a nice day! :D
