Your friend says that the absolute value equation ∣3x + 8 ∣ − 9 = −5 has no solution because the constant on the right side of t

he equation is negative. Is your friend correct? Explain.

No, because u add 9 to both sides to leave what's in the absolute value brackets alone so u get l3x+8l=4.Since the sum is positive then it has a solution.

No, ur friend is not correct

| 3x + 8 | - 9 = -5....u have to get the absolute value (and everything in it) on one side of the equal sign, and everything else on the other side. So we have to get that -9 across the equal sign by adding 9 to both sides
| 3x + 8 } = -5 + 9
| 3x + 8 | = 4...so that number is not negative anymore
now u can set up ur 2 equations and solve for x...ur 2 equations would be: 
3x + 8 = 4 and 3x + 8 = -4...so there will be 2 solutions

** if that -9 would not have been there, then ur friend would have been correct

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

Margin of error = Z * standard error

Here , the only way to decrease the value of margin of error is to decrease either the value of z or value of standard error as both are directly proportional to margin of error.

Z-value can be decreased by using lower confidence intervals. Standard error can be decreased by increasing sample size (as given in option B)

The answer is option B as it is using sample size of 50 instead of 35 thus decreasing standard error and ultimately decreasing margin of error.

Plz help one question​
Vladimir [108]

z° = 80° (Being corresponding angles)

y° + 80° = 180° (Being linear pair of angles)

=> y° = 180° - 80°

=> y° = 100°

x° = y° (Being interior opposite angles)

=> x° = 100°
