The answer would be 0 solutions.
Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?
That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!
Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.
Let's put in -6.
-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6
Let's try 3.
3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3
Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.
So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?
None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive!
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.
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
It can go into 136 4 times. Just do 136 divided by 34. It's even enough to go into it.
Every whole number is a rational number because whole numbers can be written as fractions.
G+(3/h) This is the correct answer!
