Each straw is 4-1/8 inches long.
You have one gigantic piece of straw material, 123-3/4 inches long.
How many straws can you cut it up to make ?

===> (123-3/4) divided by (4-1/8) straws.

Each one costs $0.015 to make.
So, once you find the number of short straws you have,
multiply

===> (the number of short straws) x ($0.015) .

That'll tell you how much it costs to make all of them.

Now you know how to do it on your own.
If you don't get 30 straws and $0.45 , please try again.

Given the function f(x) = 2|x + 6| – 4, for what values of x is f(x) = 6?

lara [203]

Answer:

x = -1 , - 11,

Step-by-step explanation:

| x | = x

|- x | = x

f(x) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

x = - 1 , f( - 1) = 2 | - 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 1 , f( 1 ) = 2 | 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 7 | - 4 = 14 - 4 = 10 , False

x = 11, f( 11 ) = 2 | 11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 17 | - 4 = 34 - 4 = 30 , False

x = - 11, f( - 11) = 2 | -11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 14 , f( 14 ) = 2 | 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = -14 , f( - 14 ) = 2 | - 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 8 | - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 , False

x = - 26 , f( - 26) = 2 | -26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | -20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = 26, f( 26 ) = 2 | 26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 32 | - 4 = 64 - 4 = 60 , False

Given f ( x ) = 6

f( x ) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6 = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6 + 4 = 2 | x + 6| - 4 + 4 [ adding 4 to both sides ]

10 = 2 | x + 6 | + 0

5 = | x + 6 | [ dividing both sides by 2 ]

$- 5 =\ ( x+ 6) \ = 5\\\\$ $[ \ | x | = a\ => \ -a \ = x \ = a \ ]$

$- 5 - 6 = \ x + 6 - 6 \ = \ 5 - 6\\$ $[ \ subtracting \ by \ 6 \ ]$

$-11 = \ x \ = - 1$

Please can someone help.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Challenge # 1

Line has a negative slope with positive slope.

Therefore, equation will be,

y = 1.5x - 6

Parallel line to the given line will have same slope = 1.5 but with different y-intercept.

Equation of the parallel line → y = 1.5x + 6

Challenge # 2

Line has a negative y-intercept = -1 (Approx.)

Slope of the line = negative

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = -3.7x -1

Line parallel to the given line will have same slope but different y-intercept.

Equation of the parallel line → y = -3.7x + 1

Challenge # 3

Line with negative slope and no y-intercept.

y = -0.8x

Parallel line to the given line will have same slope and different y-intercept.

Equation of the parallel line → y = -0.8x + 1

Challenge # 4

Line in the graph has positive slope and negative y-intercept.

y = -5 + 4.2x

Line parallel to the given line will have same slope but different y-intercept.

Equation of the parallel line → y = - 7 + 4.2x
