The absolute value measures the distance a number is away from the origin (zero) on the number line. A number can be to the left or right of zero on the number line, but the distance away from zero is always positive. Graphically:

In other words:

• If d is positive and

$\begin{gathered} |x|=d \\ \text{ then} \\ x=d\text{ or }x=-d \end{gathered}$

• If d is negative and

$\begin{gathered} |x|=-d \\ \text{then} \\ \text{ No solution, because distance (d) can not be negative.} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equation that has no solutions is:

$\boldsymbol{|x|=-3}$

If we have 2 bags containing marbles. bag a has 7 green and 6 black marbles. bag b has 8 yellow and 4 red marbles. if we pick ra

Elena L [17]

A. (7/13)·(1/3)=7/39. P=7/39
B. (6/13)·(2/3)=12/39. P=12/39
C. (7/13)·(2/3)=14/39. P=14/39
D. (6/13)·(1/3)=6/39. P=6/39

All the numbers from Bag B were written as thirds cause their probabilities could be simplified to make multiplying easier

If you have fifty-four pieces of candy that need to be split up evenly

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

"You" and your "5 friends" means that there are 6 people total.

All we need to do is divide.

54 / 6 = 9

Therefore, each person gets 9 pieces of candy.

Best of Luck!
