The answer is the last one (absolute value)
Answer:
So the correct answer is"none of the above".
Step-by-step explanation:
z+(z+6)=z+z+6=2z+6. \\ \\ (z+z)+(z+6)=z+z+z+6=3z+6. \\ \\ (z+6)+6=z+12 \\ \\
In order to answer this question let's suppose,
Joe is x miles from the beginning and y miles from the end. These assumptions are necessary to answer further:
Now,
x=2y
x+y=30
plugging in x=2y in the above equation
2y+y=30
3y=30
y=10
Hence, according to our calculations, Joe has to hike 10 miles further
3x-4 is the answer, you have to see that if its 3 times her nieces age it would be 3x and if its four less than that it is 3x-4
Using the sum (addition) and two 2-digit addends, 12 + 34 can be answered without regrouping.
