The third selection is appropriate.
|-40 -18| = |-58| = 58 . . . . units

_____
In the first selection, it is trying to tell you |-58| = -58. That is not so. The result of taking the absolute value is that the sign is never negative.

Lee las situaciones y realiza lo siguiente con cada una:

Julli [10]

Answer:

Part 1) see the explanation

Part 2) see the explanation

Part 3) see the explanation

Part 4) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

Read the situations and do the following with each one:

Write down the magnitudes involved

Write which magnitude is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable

It represents the function that describes the situation

SITUATIONS:

1) A machine prints 840 pages every 30 minutes.

2) An elevator takes 6 seconds to go up two floors.

3) A company rents a car at S/ 480 for 12 days.

4) 10 kilograms of papaya cost S/ 35

Part 1) we have

A machine prints 840 pages every 30 minutes

Let

x ----> the time in minutes (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the number of pages that the machine print (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

we have

$y=840\ pages\\x=30\ minutes$

substitute

$k=\frac{840}{30}=28\ pages/minute$

The linear equation is

$y=28x$

Part 2) we have

An elevator takes 6 seconds to go up two floors.

Let

x ----> the time in seconds (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the number of floors (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

we have

$y=2\ floors\\x=6\ seconds$

substitute

$k=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\ floors/second$

The linear equation is

$y=\frac{1}{3}x$

Part 3) we have

A company rents a car at S/ 480 for 12 days.

Let

x ----> the number of days (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the cost of rent a car (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

we have

$y=\$480\\x=12\ days$

substitute

$k=\frac{480}{12}=\$40\ per\ day$

The linear equation is

$y=40x$

Part 4) we have

10 kilograms of papaya cost S/ 35

Let

x ----> the kilograms of papaya (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the cost (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

we have

$y=\$35\\x=10\ kg$

substitute

$k=\frac{35}{10}=\$3.5\ per\ kg$

The linear equation is

$y=3.5x$

Can someone help with this math problem? 3 (x+6) = 27

Ainat [17]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use distributive property: a(b +c) =(a*b) + (a*c)

3(x + 6) = 27

3*x + 3*6 = 27

3x + 18 = 27 {Subtract 18 from both sides}

3x + 18 -18 = 27 - 18

3x = 9 {Divide both sides by 3}

3x/3 = 9/3

x = 3
