Answer:
If those two line on the side of -27 are there purposefully then they mean absolute value and so that would be positive 27 and on a number line the numbers to the right are greater than the ones on the left
So |-27| is GREATER than -45
A is the answer to this question because if you plug in 8.6-5 it is approximately 3
L.S.A.=1/2pl where p represents the perimeter of the base and l the slant height.
L.S.A. = ½(4*32)(24)
L.S.A. = ½ (128)(24)
L.S.A. =1/2(3072)
L.S.A. = 1536 cm
Since 4 = $3.88
Then 1 = 3.88/4
= $ 0.97
They are both the same equations, the procedure to obtain x value will be equivalent.
