The sum of two numbers is 20 and their difference is 4. Which is the greater of the two numbers? The answer is 12.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
This symbol is an <u>absolute value</u> symbol. It means that we are looking for that number's distance from 0. There is no such thing as a negative distance; the distances are all positive, so both ∣9∣ and ∣-9∣ have a value of 9.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
5 because if you multiply the previous value by 5, you get the next answer
Answer: x = 12 and y = -8
Explanation:
x + y = 4
4x + 3y = 24
———————
-3(x + y = 4)
4x + 3y = 24
———————-
-3x - 3y = -12
4x + 3y = 24
———————
x = 12
If x = 12
x + y = 4
12 + y = 4
y = -8
-4(8-3x)≥6x-8
Expand the left side.
-32+12x≥6x-8
Add 32 to both sides
12x≥6x+24
Subtract 6x.
6x≥24
Divide both sides by 6.
x≥4
Answer: x ≥ 4
