Answer:

x = - 2, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve

3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

| x - 2 | = 4

The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus

x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 6

OR

- (x - 2) = 4

- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 2

As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions

x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6

Total number of 10 grader students = 260 students.

Total number of students who rides the bus and they are of 10th grader = 150 students.

Probability (a student rides the bus given that they are a 10th grader) =\frac{Total \ number \ of \ students \ rides \ the \ bus \ and \ 10th \ grader}{Total \ number \ of \ 10 \ grader \ students}

Therefore,

P(E) = \frac{150}{260}

Dividing top and bottom by 10, we get

P(E) = 15/26.

In decimals 0.577.

Therrefore, correct option is C) 150/260 = 15/26 = .577.
