Answer:

Part a) \left|x-131,745\right|=15,000

Part b) The possibilities for the price of car B are more of $146,745 or less than $116,745

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) write an absolute value in equality that describes this situation. Use x for the cost of car B

Let

x -----> the cost of car B

we know that

The difference between the price of car B and car A in absolute value or the difference between the price of car A and car B in absolute value must be equal to 15,000

so

The absolute value in equality will be

\left|x-131,745\right|=15,000

Part b) What are the possibilities for the price of car B?

Solve the absolute value

\left|x-131,745\right|=15,000

we know that

The absolute value have two solutions

<em>First case</em> (positive)

+(x-131,745)=15,000

Adds 131,745 both sides

x=15,000+131,745

x=\$146,745

<em>Second case</em> (negative)

-(x-131,745)=15,000

Multiply by -1 both sides

(x-131,745)=-15,000

Adds 131,745 both sides

x=-15,000+131,745

x=\$116,745

Remember that

The prices of these two cars differ <u><em>by more</em></u> than $15,000

therefore

The possibilities for the price of car B are more of $146,745 or less than $116,745

You have 3/4 of a pound of peanuts. You have 10 cupcakes . What fraction of nuts is in each cupcake
kvasek [131]

Each cupcake would have 3/40 of a pound of nuts since that is 10x smaller than the total they have so they could put that amount into 10 cupcakes.

The answer is 3/40

Elza [17]

Answer:

224 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cubes is 1/64. Because 1/4*1/4*1/4=1/64.

The volume of the prims is 14/4 because 7/4*2*1=14/4.

Take the 14/4 and divide it by 1/64.

Which equals 896/4 = 224

Hope that helped.
