|3x+12|=18

Solve Absolute Value.

|3x+12|=18

3x+12=18 or 3x+12=−18

3x+12=18(Possibility 1)

3x+12−12=18−12(Subtract 12 from both sides)

3x=6

3x3=63(Divide both sides by 3)

x=2

3x+12=−18(Possibility 2)

3x+12−12=−18−12(Subtract 12 from both sides)

3x=−30

3x3=−303(Divide both sides by 3)

x=−10

The answer is:

x=2 or x=−10

The formula to determine energy is uppercase E = one-half m v squared. What is the formula solved for v?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

All the variables on the right are being multiplied together then the whole mess is being divided by 2. Let's get rid of the 2 first. The undoing of division is multiplication, so we will begin by multiplying both sides by 2 to get

$2E=mv^2$

Next we will move the m. The undoing of multiplication is division. So we divide both sides by m to get

$\frac{2E}{m}=v^2$

The undoing of a square is to take the square root, so we will do that to both sides giving us, finally

$\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} }=v$

A mirror is 24 inches high and 28 inches wide. The center of the mirror will hang 514 feet from the floor on a wall that is 8 fe

Vanyuwa [196]

The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling once the mirror is hung on the wall is 21 inches

The dimension of the mirror is given as:

$Height = 24\ in$

$Width = 28\ in$

From the center of the mirror to the floor of the wall, the distance is:

$Distance =5\frac14\ ft$

So, the distance to the top of the mirror will be:

$Top = 5\frac 14\ ft + \frac 12 \times Height$

Substitute 24 for height

$Top = 5\frac 14\ ft+ \frac 12 \times 24\ in$

$Top = 5\frac 14\ ft+ 12 \ in$

Convert feet to inches

$Top = 5\frac 14\times 12\ in+ 12 \ in$

$Top = 63\ in+ 12 \ in$

$Top = 75 \ in$

The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling is the difference between the height of the wall and 75 inches.

So, we have:

$Distance = 8\ ft - 75\ in$

Convert feet to inches

$Distance = 8\times 12\ in - 75\ in$

$Distance = 96\ in - 75\ in$

$Distance = 21\ in$

Hence, the distance is 21 inches
