Because the absolute value makes anything positive so -11 to 11 and -7 to 7 which would mean that 11 >7 and -11<-7

When looking at the -7 and -11 it's like looking at a timeline you see the numbers from left to right so you would look at the -11 first and then the -7. whenever a number has the two lines it's the absolute value so you would ignore the negative signs and it would just be the number.

If you roll a single die and count the number of dots on top, what is the sample space of all possible outcomes? Are the outcome
azamat

Answer:

Outcomes: S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6}

The outcomes of rolling a single die are equally likely.

Step-by-step explanation:

A single fair die has six faces. Each face has dots on it, numbered {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6}.

On rolling the die the possible outcomes are:

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6}

Thus, there are a total of 6 possible outcomes.

Equally likely events are events that has the same probability of happening.

For example, if events <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are equally likely then <em>P </em>(<em>A</em>) = <em>P </em>(<em>B</em>).

The outcomes of rolling a die are equally likely because the probability of any of the 6 faces showing up are same, i.e.  

P(1) = P(2)=P(3)=P(4)=P(5)=P(6)=\frac{Favorable\ outcome}{Total\ no.\ of\ outcomes}=\frac{1}{6}

Thus, the outcomes of rolling a single die are equally likely.

Half a pepperoni pizza plus three fourths of a ham and pineapple pizza contains 765 calories 1/4 of a pepperoni pizza plus a who
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Correct choice is D (In a whole pepperoni pizza are 660 calories, in  in a whole ham and pineapple pizza are 580 calories).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x calories be the number of calories a whole pepperoni pizza contains and y calories be the number of calories a whole ham and pineapple pizza contains.

1. If half a pepperoni pizza plus three fourths of a ham and pineapple pizza contains 765 calories, then

\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{3}{4}y=765.

2. If 1/4 of a pepperoni pizza plus a whole ham and pineapple pizza contains 745 calories. then

\dfrac{1}{4}x+y=745.

3. Multiply each equation by 4 and get a system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x+3y=3060\\x+4y=2980\end{array}\right.

From the second equation x=2980-4y, then

2(2980-4y)+3y=3060,\\ \\5960-8y+3y=3060,\\ \\-8y+3y=3060-5960,\\ \\-5y=-2900,\\ \\y=580.

Then

x=2980-4\cdot 580=2980-2320=660.
