Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value always returns a positive value, thus cannot be equal to - 31

Break down the problem into these two equations;

x = -31

-x = -31

Solve for the 1st equation; x = -31

x = -31

Solve for the 2nd equation; -x = -31

x = 31

Collect all solutions

x = ±31

Check the solution

When x = -31, the original equation; |x| = -31 does not hold true. Thus, we will drop x = -31 from the solution set.

Check the solution again;

When x = 31, the original equation |x| = -31 does not hold true as well. Thus we will drop x = 31 from the solution set.

Therefore,

<u>No solution exists to this equation. </u>

Find f(-1) if f(x) = -3x - 5<br><br><br> Choices <br><br> A. -9 <br> B. -8<br> C. -2<br> D. 2
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is plug in -1 for x in the equation

f(-1)= -3(-1)-5

-3 times -1 = 3

Then you need to subtract 5 leaving it to be 3-5 = -2

Therefore the answer is C. - 2

How could the relationship of the data be classified?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

That would be a fairly weak positive correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you start in the origin and go up, the correlation is positive.

This would be fairly weak because the points are pretty scattered. If it were strong, you could almost draw the line of best fit by yourself. Here you can't.

DECISION SCIENCE Assume more restrictions. The books pass through two departments: Graphics and Printing, 1. before they can be
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: The value of x and y are 2 and 15 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours available in graphics = 21 hours

Number of hours in printing = 19 hours

Number of hours required by x in graphics = 3

Number of hours required by x in printing = 2

Number of hours required by y in graphics = 1

Number of hours required by y in printing = 1

According to question, we get that

3x+y=21\\\\2x+y=19

Using the graphing method, we get that

x = 2 and y = 15

Hence, the value of x and y are 2 and 15 respectively.
