Okay so the opposite of 10 is -10
So 2-12=-10 and negative ten is the opposite to positive ten.
Does that make sense?

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number.

A number decreased by twelve is twice the opposite of ten.

n - 12 = 2 * (-10)

n - 12 = -20

n = -8

Answer:

309

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 300 = 2772

subtract 300 from both sides of the equal sign

8x = 2472

divide 8 from both sides of the equal sign

x = 309

Solve the inequality and graph the solution set?

Leto [7]

Answer:

0 < x < 8

Step-by-step explanation:

| x-4| < 4

There are two solutions one positive and one negative. Remember to flip the inequality on the negative solution

x-4 <4 and x-4 > -4

Add 4 to each side

x -4+4 <4+4 and x-4+4 > -4+4

x < 8 and x > 0

0 < x < 8

(PLEASEEE HELP ASAP!!) The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport Its sugar to market. The first compan

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Q1:14 Q2:8903.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I find that using equations to solve problems makes it a lot easier.

The first company's equation would be y=5743+225.75x because 5743 is the set fee and 225.75 is for each ton of sugar. The second company would be y=7500+100.25x for the same reasons.

So we need to find a value of x that works for each company and a value of y that is the same for the cost.

Now we combine them.

Solve for x:

5743+225.75x=7500+100.25x

-5743 -5743

225.75x= 1757+100.25x

-100.25x -100.25x

125.50x=1757

/125.5 /125.5

x=14

Therefore, for Q1, the answer is 14.

Now we solve for y by substituting x for 14.

5743+225.75(14)

5743+3160.5

8903.5

We can also check this with the other equation

7500+100.25(14)

7500+1403.5

8903.5

So therefore, the answer to Q2 would be 8903.5.
