What is the value of the expression when a = -1.4 and b = -2.7? |a| + b

Mathematics

Julli [10]4 years ago

"a" is an absolute value, so that means that after whatever is in the brackets is solved as far as it can be, it becomes a positive value, no matter what it is. So, |-1.4| is equal to 1.4. The equation is 1.4+ (-2.7) or 1.4 - 2.7 which equals -1.3

Olin [163]

Answer:

2/16

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

8/1=8

2/16=0.125 which is equal to 1/8

2/14=1/7

1/8=1/8 is 2/16 simplified so they are the same

14/2=7

A graph represents the feasible region for the system: y is less than or equal to 2x, x + y is greater than or equal to 45, and
atroni [7]
Notation. x  y means x is less than or equal to y. x y means x is greater than or equal to y. x < y means x is less than y. x > y means x is greater than y. The last two inequalities are called strict inequalities. Our focus will be on the nonstrict inequalities. Algebra of Inequalities Suppose x + 3 < 8. Addition works like for equations: x + 6 < 11 (added 3 to each side). Subtraction works like for equations: x + 2 < 7 (subtracted 4 from each side). Multiplication and division by positive numbers work like for equations: 2x + 12 < 22 =) x + 6 < 11 (each side is divided by 2 or multiplied by 1 2 ). 59 60 4. LINEAR PROGRAMMING Multiplication and division by negative numbers changes the direction of the inequality sign: 2x + 12 < 22 =) x 6 > 11 (each side is divided by -2 or multiplied by 1 2 ). Example. For 3x 4y and 24 there are 3 possibilities: 3x 4y = 24 3x 4y < 24 3x 4y > 24 4y = 3x + 24 4y < 3x + 24 4y > 3x + 24 y = 3 4x 6 y > 3 4x 6 y < 3 4x 6 The three solution sets above are disjoint (do not intersect or overlap), and their graphs fill up the plane. We are familiar with the graph of the linear equation. The graph of one inequality is all the points on one side of the line, the graph of the other all the points on the other side of the line. To determine which side for an inequality, choose a test point not on the line (such as (0, 0) if the line does not pass through the origin). Substitute this point into the linear inequality. For a true statement, the solution region is the side of the line that the test point is on; for a false statement, it is the other side.

What is the measure of angle B?
Andre45 [30]

60 degrees, because it's an equilateral triangle, as you can tell because the sides are all the same length.

Mandy used the graph to write the equation of the line it represents. She took these steps. 1. y−intercept = (0, 2) 2. Slope = r
Katyanochek1 [597]

Based on the information given about the equation, y will be 0.5x + 2.

<h3>How to illustrate the equation?</h3>

From the information given, it should be noted that the equation of the line it represents was given and the y intercept is = (0, 2).

The function to represent y will be:

y = mx + b

y = (1/2)x + 2

y = 0.5x + 2

In conclusion, y = 0.5x + 2.

The sum of two numbers is 22. The difference is 6. What are the two numbers?
algol [13]

Answer:

Numbers are 14 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

Write 2 equations:

x + y = 22

x - y = 6

Solve by substitution:

x - y = 6

x = y + 6

Plug into the other equation:

(y + 6) + y = 22

2y + 6 = 22

2y = 16

y = 8

Plug into either equation:

x + 8 = 22

x = 14

Numbers are 14 and 8
