Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value is the distance between the number and 0. Since distance cannot be negative, the absolute value of something is always going to be positive. In this equation | x | = 12 since 12 is already a postive number and the distance between 12 and 0 is 12, this means that x is equal to 12.

Hope This Helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x,\ y,\ z-\text{three numbers}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}(x+2z)-y=1&(1)\\z+2x=3&(2)\\x+3y+z=18&(3)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\\z+2x=3\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\z=3-2x\qquad(*)\\\\\text{Substitute}\ (*)\ \text{to (1) and (3)}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+2(3-2x)-y=1&\text{use the distributive property}\\x+3y+(3-2x)=18\end{array}\right$

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+(2)(3)+(2)(-2x)-y=1\\x+3y+3-2x=18&\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+6-4x-y=1&\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\(x-2x)+3y=15\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}(x-4x)-y=-5\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-3x-y=-5&\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right$

$\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-9x-3y=-15\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add all sides of the equations}\\.\qquad-10x=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-10)}\\.\qquad\boxed{x=0}\\\\\text{Put it to the second equation:}\\-0+3y=15\\3y=15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\boxed{y=5}\\\\\text{Put the value of}\ x\ \text{to}\ (*):\\\\z=3-2(0)\\\boxed{z=3}$

If y varies directly with x and y=100 when x=5, what is the value of k?

horrorfan [7]

When it says varies directly, it means that y and x are going to be on opposite sides of the equals sign and that there is a constant, k,

y=kx

Plug in (5,100)

100=k(5)

K=20

What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10? The surface area is 84 square inches.

inn [45]

Answer:

A for a box, the surface area is given by:

6l², where l is the length of one side.

If the side is increased 10 times,

6(10l)²

=100 x6l²

The surface area increases 100 times. Thus, the new surface area is

272 * 100

= 27,200 sq in

Javier has a job installing windows. He earns a rate of $75 per day plus $8 per window installed. He also receives a stipend of

vichka [17]

75d+8w+25
Part A)
75 and 8 are coefficients because coefficients are the numbers before and multiplied to the variable.
d and w are variables because variables aresymbols to represent the unknown numbers.
25 is the constant because constants are not affected by the variable.
Part B)
75d+8w+25
75(5)+8(48)+25 replace the variables
375+384+25 multiply
784 add
Part C)
No, because his stipend is a constant, and constants are not affected by the variable.

Answer:

P(7, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Xp = 6+ ⅓(9-6)= 6+ ⅓(3)=6+1 =7

Yp = -10 + ⅓(-1+10)= -10+⅓(9)= -10+3=-7

=> P (7, -7)
