What's |5| + |–7|?

2 answers:

7 0

The absolute value returns the "positive version" of a number. This means that if the number is already positive, it does nothing. Otherwise, it gets rid of the negative sign.

So, you have

$|5|=5,\quad |-7|=7$

and thus

$|5|+|-7|=5+7=12$

Answer:

C) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value always means it is the positive version of the number

This switches -7 to 7 and 5 stays the same.

5 + 7 = 12

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number. Which answer represents this situation??

erica [24]

Answer:

Option b is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given condition : Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number.

Here, the number is x

The quotient of a number x and twelve is expressed as , $\frac{x}{12}$

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is expressed as, $\frac{x}{12}-7$

Five times the number mean, $5x$

Therefore, we have an equation in the form of <em>x</em> from the given condition as:

$\frac{x}{12}-7=5x$ .

George is twice as old as Edward, and Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. If the sum of the three ages is at least 56

marshall27 [118]

Answer:Robert's minimum age is 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent George's age.

Let y represent Edward's age.

Let z represent Robert's age.

George is twice as old as Edward. It means that

x = 2y

Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. It means that

z = y - 4

If the sum of the three ages is at least 56 years, it means that

x + y + z ≥ 56 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y and z = y - 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2y + y + y - 4 ≥ 56

4y - 4 ≥ 56

4y ≥ 56 + 4

y ≥ 60/4

y ≥ 15

z = y - 4 = 15 - 4

z ≥ 11

If 28% of students in College are near-sighted, the probability that in a randomly chosen group of 20 College students, exactly

cluponka [151]

Answer: (D) 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^n-x$ , where n is the sample size , p is population proportion and P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trial.

Given : The proportion of students in College are near-sighted : p= 0.28

Sample size : n= 20

Then, the the probability that in a randomly chosen group of 20 College students, exactly 4 are near-sighted is given by :_

$P(x=4)=^{20}C_4(0.28)^4(1-0.28)^{20-4}\\\\=\dfrac{20!}{4!16!}(0.28)^4(0.72)^{16}\\\\=0.155326604912\approx0.16\%$

Hence, the probability that in a randomly chosen group of 20 College students, exactly 4 are near-sighted is closest to 16%.
