What is greater -4 in a half or -7?

1 answer:

7 0

I don't quite understand the phrase "in a half", I think you might've meant "and a half", which would be -4.5. Either way, -4 is greater because in negative numbers the number closest to 0 is bigger.

Solve the following absolute value equation. −8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14

Levart [38]

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

Galina runs a bakery, where she sells packages of 4 dozen cookies for $24.96 per package. The amount of money she makes by selli

elena-s [515]

Answer:

p(x) = f(x) - g(x) = -0.04x² + 20.96x - 71

Explanation:

The sales are given by f(x) = 24.96x and the cost are represented by g(x) = 0.04x² + 4x + 71.

Then, the profit is equal to

p(x) = f(x) - g(x)

p(x) = 24.96x - (0.04x² + 4x + 71)

p(x) = 24.96x - 0.04x² - 4x - 71

p(x) = -0.04x² + 20.96x - 71

Therefore, the answer is

p(x) = f(x) - g(x) = -0.04x² + 20.96x - 71

24% of students buy there lunch, 190 students bring their lunch from home. How many students are there in total

miv72 [106K]

so we know that 24% of the students buy their lunch at the cafeteria, and 190 students brownbag.

well, 100% - 24% = 76%, so the remainder of the students, the one that is not part of the 24% is 76%, and we know that's 190 of them.

since 190 is 76%, how much is the 24%?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 190&76\\ x&24 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{190}{x}=\cfrac{76}{24}\implies 4560=76x \\\\\\ \cfrac{4560}{76}=x\implies 60=x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{total amount of students}}{190+60\implies 250}$
