For what value or values of b is it true that |b| = -b

Mathematics

Answer: b = 0 or anything negative (like b = -2)

So any value of b such that b \le 0

==================================================

Explanation:

|b| is the distance from b on the number line to 0

The distance is never negative as negative distance does not make sense.

If b was some positive number, then |b| = b. For instance, |7| = 7. This shows 7 is seven units away from 0 on the number line.

----------

If b is negative or zero, then |b| = -b. Why? Because the result of |b| is the opposite of whatever negative b value you put in. For example, b = -2 leads to

|b| = |-2| = 2

while

-b = -(b) = -(-2) = 2

The two negatives cancel each other out to get a positive result.

This shows, |-2| = -(-2) = 2

Meaning that the location -2 is two units away from 0 on the number line.

Answer:

b =0

Step-by-step explanation:

The only value where  |b| = -b  is when b=0

|0| = -0

0 = 0

Absolute value means non- negative

non-negative = negative

This is only true when we equal zero

What is the value of y?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

y = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the sum of the angles of a triangle are 180

72+y+y = 180

Combine like terms

72 + 2y = 180

Subtract 72 from each side

72-72 +2y = 180-72

2y = 108

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = 108/2

y = 54

A store pays $10 for a blanket, and the markup is 115%. A customer will also pay a 5 1/2% sales tax. What will be the total cost
Naddik [55]
Firstly, we need to find the price of the blanket/bracelet after the 115% increase.

Now for the 5.5% sales tax, which is applied the the new value of $15.20
     $15.20 x 0.055 = 0.83
     $15.20 + $0.83 = $16.03

The final cost for the blanket/bracelet is %16.03
