By definition, we have

|p+2| = \begin{cases} p+2 &\text{ if } p+2 \geq 0 \\-p-2 &\text{ if } p+2 < 0 \end{cases}

So, we have to solve two different equations, depending of the possible range for the variable. We have to remember about these ranges when we decide to accept or discard the solutions:

Suppose that p+2\geq 0 \iff p \geq -2

In this case, the absolute value doesn't do anything: the equation is

p+2 = 10 \iff p = 10-2 = 8

We are supposing p \geq -2, so we can accept this solution.

Now, suppose that p+2 < 0 \iff p < -2. Now the sign of the expression is flipped by the absolute value, and the equation becomes

-p-2 = 10 \iff -p = 12 \iff p = -12

Again, the solution is coherent with the assumption, so we can accept this value as well.

A piece of fabric is 1/3 yard by 3 5/8 yards. Irma solves 1/3⋅3 5/8 to find the area of the fabric in square yards. Enter number
Harlamova29_29 [7]

For this case we have:


The area of the piece of fabric is given by A = a * b


Where


a = \frac{1}{3}yards


b = 3 \frac{5}{8}yards


Substituting in the formula of the area we have:


A = \frac{1}{3}* 3 \frac{5}{8}\\

A = \frac{1}{3}* (3 + \frac{5}{8})\\

A = 1 + \frac{5}{24}


A = 1\frac{5}{24}yards ^ 2\\

Thus, the area of the piece of fabric is given by: A = 1\frac{5}{24}yards ^ 2\\

Answer:


A = 1\frac{5}{24}yards ^ 2\\

At the honda dealership,45% of all cars sold include a sunroof. If this sold 247 cars last week, about how many would you expect
sertanlavr [38]
It is 45% of 247 move the the decimal on the 45% two places to the right, then you should get .45. Of means multiply so .45*247 should get you the answer of 111.15 that's how you find the percent of this number. If you round the answer you would get 111 so about 111cars had a sunroof
