What is the largest possible value of y, if y = - | 3 - x | + 5

1 answer:

7 0

Given any expression A, absolute value of A, that is |A|, is always positive or 0.

So |3-x| is always positive or 0, thus -|3-x| is always negative or 0.

Since we want the largest value of - | 3 - x | + 5, we must keep - | 3 - x | as large as possible, that is, we must keep | 3 - x | as small as possible.

The smallest possible value of | 3 - x | is 0. This happens for x=3.

The largest possible value of <span>y = - | 3 - x | + 5 = 0+5 =5

Answer: 5</span>

Twenty less than 8 times a number is the same as 15 more than the number.

Nezavi [6.7K]

X-number
8x-20=15+x (subtract x)
7x-20=15 (then add 20)
7x=35 (then divide by 7)

I think you've got it from now, if not, just do 35 divided by 7. But go over the steps, so that you know how to do these types of questions.

Find the unit rate.<br> 180 miles in 3 hours

leva [86]

Answer:

60 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the equation in a fraction.

You would put 180 up top because people always say miles per hour not the other way around.

You can see the dividing line as your "per" and your "hour" would be the bottom number.

To find the unit rate, you will divide the numerator (180) and the denominator (3).

Your final answer should be 60 miles per hour.

$\frac{180}{3} = \frac{60}{1}= 60$

Alex got 27 questions out of 30 correct. what present of the questions did he get correct?(use fish method)

Novosadov [1.4K]

if we take 30 to be the 100%, what is 27 off of it in percentage?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 30 & 100\\ 27& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{30}{27}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ \cfrac{10}{9}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 10x=900\implies x=\cfrac{900}{10}\implies x=90$
