Answer:

a can be any real number less than equal to -5

Step-by-step explanation:

When a+5 is negative,

a + 5 = -(-5 - a)

a + 5 = a + 5

All values satisfy the equation

So a < -5

When a + 5 is greater than/equal to 0,

a + 5 = -a - 5

2a = -10

a = -5

a can be any real number less than equal to -5

Maksim231197 [3]

If you would like to find the function that gives the profit Betty makes by selling a number of glasses of lemonade, you can find this using the following steps:

p ... profit
g ... glasses of lemonade

f(g) = p = g * $1 - $50

The correct result would be f(g) = g * $1 - $50.

PLEASE HELP QUICKLY IM VERY CONFUSED

Harman [31]

Answer:

42/90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = .46

multiply both sides by 10

10x = 4.66

multiply both sides by 10 again

100x = 46.66

100x - 10x = 46.66 - 4.66

90x = 42

x = 42 / 90

Can be reduced to x = 21/45
