The two solutions for x are x = 5 or x = 9.

We have some number x in which we subtract off 7. The result of this subtraction (x-7) is the value 2. If the result is negative, we flip it to positive. If the result is positive, we leave it alone. Absolute values are never negative because distance is never negative. Note how x = 5 is 2 units away from 7; similarly, x = 9 is also 2 units away from 7. Here's how you can solve for the two solutions

|x-7| = 2

x-7 = 2 or x-7  = -2

x-7+7 = 2+7 or x-7+7 = -2+7 .... add 7 to both sides

x = 9 or x = 5

x = 5 or x = 9

Therefore you could have scored 5 points or 9 points

Answer:

Number of quarters → 15

Number of dimes → 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes I have = y

And number of quarters = x

Since, I have amount in my pocket = $2

Therefore, 0.10y + 0.25x = 2

100(0.10y + 0.25x) = 100×2

25x + 10y = 200

5x + 2y = 40

2y = -5x + 40

y = -2.5x + 20 ---------(1)

Total number of coins in my pocket = 17

x + y = 17

y = -x + 17 ---------(2)  

By using a graphing calculator we can graph these two lines (As attached)

Solution of the given system of equations will be the point of intersection of these lines.

Solution → (2, 15)

Number of quarters → 15

Number of dimes → 2

Form a sequence that has two arithmetic means between -13 and 89. a. -13, 33, 43, 89 c. -13, 21, 55, 89 b. -18, -36, -72, -144 d

<span>Form a sequence that has two arithmetic means between -13 and 89. a. -13, 33, 43, 89 c. -13, 21, 55, 89 b. -18, -36, -72, -144 d. -18, -81, -144

Solution:

Since  it has to be between -13 and 89, letter d and b are not anymore considered to be the answer.

for a:
33-(-13)=46=d
43-33=10=d the value for this d is different from the two sequence,
89-43=46=d
they have different value for d, thus this is not the answer!

for c:
21-(-13)=34=d
55-21=34=d
89-55=34=d

they have the same value for d, thus the correct answer is </span><span> c. -13, 21, 55, 89</span>

Can you simplify 7/63. ( If you can show your work)
Solnce55 [7]
7/63 can be simplified down to 1/9 because if you were to multiply 7 by 9 you would get 63? or an easier way to do it would be to divide 63 by 7
