So,

1400 people in total. Though, subtract 200 for the amount of extra adults. This makes 1200. Divide that by two. You get 600

You need to add 200 to the 600 to get the amount of adults. The amount of adults on board is 800.

The amount of children on board is 600.

600 plus 800 equals 1400, it makes sense. :P

Find the absolute value of 1 and - 1

AlekseyPX

The absolute value of BOTH of those numbers is ' 1 '.

==========================================

Oh ! Wait just a second. Did you mean for the 1 and the -1 to be combined
in some way ? If that's what you had in mind, then you'll have to be more
specific. "And" is no mathematical operation that I know of.

A flock of geese is flying north for the summer while a bird watcher is observing. He notices that they are flying in the shape

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

y = -¼│x − 5│+ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a│x − h│+ k

(h, k) is the vertex of the absolute value graph. In this case, it's (5, 3).

y = a│x − 5│+ 3

One point on the graph is (1, 2). Plug in to find the value of a.

2 = a│1 − 5│+ 3

2 = 4a + 3

a = -¼

Therefore, the graph is:

y = -¼│x − 5│+ 3

Find the probability for choosing a letter at random from the word: Probability P(not P) A.) 1/11 B.) 2/11 C.) 5/11 D.) 10/11

elixir [45]

Answer:

D.) 10/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given word Probability has 11 letters in it. And we have to calculate the Probability of not selecting a letter P from the above word.

So the formula for calculating any probability is Total Favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

Here total number of outcomes are 11 as word Probability has 11 letters.

So the probability of selecting letter P from word Probability = $\frac{1}{11}$

Now the P(not P) = 1 - P(selecting letter P)

= 1 - $\frac{1}{11}$ = $\frac{10}{11}$
