Answer: It's either -6 or 12. I'm assuming it's 12 because it says "more than."

Step-by-step explanation:

You must account for both the number being more than 9 units smaller than 3 and being more than 9 units larger than 3. To do that, you set the absolute value of the difference between the number and 3 greater than 9.

Let x be the number

|x - 3| > 9

Now solve for x.

Suppose x - 3 is positive. Then

x - 3 > 9 ⇒ x > 12

Suppose x - 3 is negative. Then |x - 3| = -(x - 3) = 3 - x

Then

3 - x > 9 ⇒ x < -6

These are the 2 possibilities.


Hope this helps

The green river freeway has a minimum and maximum speed limit, tony drove for 2 hours at the minimum speed limit and 3.5 hours a
Vinil7 [7]
From the beginning we know we are dealing with two different rates. Distance is equal to (Speed X Time). We have two different speeds though. We will call the min speed = x and the max speed = y.  With those two ideas in place we can make two equations for both Tony and Rae.
Tony:
2x+3.5y=355
Rae:
2x+3y=320
Now you can solve the equations by subtracting Rae's equation from Tony's

.5y=35 solve for y and you get 70
Now plug that y value back into either equation and you can solve for x. I'll use Rae's distance: 
2x+3(70)=320
x=55
