GIVING BRAINLEST!!!Joe and Tim observed two points, P and Q, on a number line. A number line is shown from negative 1 to positiv

e 1 with increments of 1 over 8. The numbers negative 1, negative 6 over 8, negative 4 over 8, negative 2 over 8, 0, 2 over 8, 4 over 8, 6 over 8 are labeled on the number line. A point P is shown to the third place on the left of 0, and a point Q is shown to the third place on the right of 0. Joe said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are different. Tim said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are the same. Which of the following explains who is correct?

8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P is 5 ticks to the left of 0, so it would be -5/8

Q is 5 ticks to the right of 0, so it would be at 5/8

 an absolute value turns a negative number into a positive number

 so absolute value of  P located at -5/8 = 5/8

 this is the location of point Q

Joe said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are the same.

Write a real-world problem given the equation 2/3x = 12. Then solve the equation.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

x = 1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x = 12

multiply both sides by 3x

2/3x(3x) = 12(3x)

2 = 36x

x = 1/18

A town is planning a playground. It wants to fence in a rectangular space using an existing wall. What is the greatest area it c
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

1250 ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the playground is fenced on three sides of the playground and the four side has an existing wall.

Let the length of the rectangle be 'X' feet and width be 'Y' feet.

As the fencing is done using 100 feet of fence. We get the relation between the sides and the fence as, X + 2Y = 100.

As, X + 2Y = 100 → X = 100 - 2Y

Now, the area of the rectangle = XY = X × ( 100 - 2Y ).

i.e Area of the rectangle = -2Y^{2} +100Y.

The general form of a quadratic equation is y=ax^{2}+bx+c.

The maximum value of a quadratic equation is given by x=\frac{-b}{2a}.

Therefore, the greatest value of -2Y^{2} +100Y is at Y = \frac{-100}{2 \times -2} = \frac{-100}{-4} = 25.

Thus, Y = 25 and X = 100 - 2Y → X = 100 - 2 × 25 → X = 50.

Hence, the area of the rectangle is XY = 50 × 25 = 1250 ft^{2}.
