ohan found that the equation –2|8 – x| – 6 = –12 had two possible solutions: x = 5 and x = –11. which explains whether his solut

ions are correct? a)he is correct because both solutions satisfy the equation. b)he is not correct because he made a sign error. c)he is not correct because there are no solutions. d)he is not correct because there is only one solution: x = 5.

-2 | 8-x| - 6 = -12...add 6 to both sides
-2 |8-x| = -12 + 6
-2 |8-x| = - 6...divide both sides by -2
|8-x| = -6/-2
|8-x| = 3

8 - x = -3          -(8 - x) = -3
-x = -3-8           -8 + x = -3
-x = -11              x = -3 + 8
x = 11                x = 5

not correct.....sign error

Which equation shows the substitution method being used to solve the system of linear equations?
svet-max [94.6K]
The equation
(y + 5) + y = 6
shows the substitution method being used to solve the system of linear equations. So the correct option among all the options given in the question is option "D".
For a better explanation, let us first write down the two equations given in the question.
x + 5 = 6
and
x = y + 5
Now the thing that has been done is that the value of x in the first equation has been replaced by the value of x that is given in the second equation. this is actually the substitution method of solving equations.

Ricky is filling an 8 inch by 4 1/2 inch rectangular box with packing peanuts. The peanuts are cubes that come in two different
Marina86 [1]
Ok, so we can fill the part of the box that corresponds to the 8x4 inches with the boxes that are 1 cubic inch - that wound be 8x4, that is 32 such boxes.

then the rest would be 8x \frac{1}{2} inches, that is 4 cubic inches.

In order to fill in 4 cubic inches with  \frac{1}{8} inches boxes we calculate:

4/ \frac{1}{8}=4*8=32  So it's also 32 such small boxes!

9y=-3x+5 how do I find the slope for this?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The slope is -1/3 and the y intercept is 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we need to put the equation in the form y= mx+b

9y=-3x+5

We will divide by 9 to isolate y

9y/9=-3x/9+5/9

y = -1/3 x + 5/9

The slope is -1/3 and the y intercept is 5/9

What's the pattern?<br> 1,2,4,8,16.....
Inessa05 [86]
You have to add the last number to itself. So the next number would be 32 because 16 + 16 equals 32. Then you add 32 + 32 so the next number would be 64
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128
