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

How do you solve this
arlik [135]
The answer is 1,800, you would multiply 5 by 10 which is 50 then t would be 50 to the 4th power 50 times 4 is 200. then you do the same on the other side 3 time 10 which is 30 to the second power which is 90 than you multiply 200 and 90 because when you have two parentheses next to each other you always multiply but when you do that your answer turns out to be 1,800

(03.01 LC)<br><br> What is the length of leg y of the right triangle? (1 point)
EastWind [94]

Answer:

<h2>A</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

What is the length of leg y of the right triangle?

A right triangle with hypotenuse 26 and legs 24 and y

  • 10
  • 14
  • 24
  • 26

We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, where h=26 and x=24,

h^{2} =x^{2} +y^{2}\\ 26^{2}=24^{2}+y^{2}\\y=\sqrt{26^{2}-24^{2}}\\ y=\sqrt{676-576}\\ y=\sqrt{100}\\ y=10

Therefore, the right answer is A. The length of the missing leg is 10 units.

What is 6/10 rounded to the nearest half
belka [17]

6/10 rounding to the nearest half would be 1, not 0.

Reason for this: Here is a number line to help you!

|----|----|

Left line = 0

Middle line = 1/2

Right line = 1

Here is another rule!

0/10, 1/10, 2/10, 3/10, 4/10 = rounded to the nearest half would be 0

5/10, 6/10, 7/10, 8/10, 9/10, 10/10 = rounded to the nearest half would be 1.

So 6/10 rounded to the nearest half is 1.

Hope this helped!

Solve 169x^2-42.25=0 by using square roots?<br><br> NEED HELP!!!
jekas [21]

Answer:

x = 1/2 , x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation;

169x² - 42.25

Find:

Solution of equation using square root

Computation:

169x² - 42.25

We know that 13² = 169 and 6.5² = 42.25

So,

[13x]² - [6.5]²

a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)

So,

[13x]² - [6.5]² = [13x + 6.5][13x - 6.5]

So,

13x + 6.5 = 0 , 13x - 6.5 = 0

x = 6.5 / 13 , x = -6.5 / 13

x = 1/2 , x = -1/2
