1 pint = 2 cups = 2(8 fluid ounces) = 16 fluid ounces= 16(2 tablespoons)= 32 table spoons.
so, 5 pints= 5*32 tablespoons = 160 tablespoons
You look at the decimal place next to the hundredth one. In this case, it’s 4 so you round down
18.19 is the answer
Since there is nothing on the left side of the equation besides the absolute value, you have to take 6m out of the absolute value and create 2 separate equations. These 2 equation will be 6m = 42 and 6m = -42.
You solve the equations normally:
6m = 42 6m = -42 (inverse to get m by itself, do on both sides)
/6 /6 /6 /6
m = 7 m = -7
The answer is a solution set:
[7, -7]
