Here, we see |x+6| = 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 x is |x+6|=-2 true?

None, because the answer must be positive!
-2 is not positive, 2 is.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream.

After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after first leaving N, he was brought back to N by the current.

Knowing that the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/hour

To find : The speed of the river’s current.

Solution :

Let the speed of current = x km/h

Speed of boat = 9 km/h

Thus, the speed in upstream = (9 - x) km/h

Also, the speed in downstream = x km/h (because the boat is stationary in downstream)

Total distance = 6 km ( from N to the point he reached )

Total time = 2 hours 40 minutes

$\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=2\frac{40}{60}=2 \frac{2}{3} \\\\\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=\frac{8}{3} \text{ hours}$

We know, $\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

According to the question,

$\frac{6}{9-x}+\frac{6}{x}=\frac{8}{3}$

Taking LCM and 6 common

$6[\frac{x+9-x}{(9-x)x}]=\frac{8}{3}$

Take 6 to another side,

$\frac{9}{9x-x^2}=\frac{8}{3\times 6}$

Cross multiply,

$9\times 18=8\times(9x-x^2)$

$162=72x-8x^2$

Taking 4 common and cancel out

$4x^2-36x+81=0$

Solve quadratic equation by middle term split,

$4x^2-18x-18x+81=0$

$2x(2x-9)-9(2x-9)=0$

$(2x-9)(2x-9)=0$

$\Rightarrow 2x-9=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{2}=4.5$

Therefore, The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

The population, p, of a town after t years is represented using the equation p=10000(1.04)^-t Which of the following is an equiv

Lisa [10]

Answer:

p=10000(26/25)t

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering that the population, p, of a town after t years is represented using the equation p=10000(1.04)^-t

The equation is equivalent to p=10000(26/25)t, because;

26/25 = 1.04

Hence; p=10000(26/25)t =p=10000(1.04)^t

1/3 of the fish in the tank are snappers. 2/9 of the fish are catfish and the rest are goldfish. There are 40 goldfish in the ta

Paraphin [41]

Find fraction of snappers and catfish:

1/3 + 2/9 = 3/9 + 2/9 = 5/9

Find fraction of goldfish:

1 - 5/9 = 4/9

4/9 = 40 goldfish

1/9 = 40 ÷ 4 = 10

9/9 = 10 x 9 = 90

Answer: 90 fish in the tank
