If x - 4 ≥ 0, then |x - 4| = x - 4, so
G(x) = F(x) ⇒ 3x + 2 = (x - 4) + 2
⇒ 3x + 2 = x - 2
⇒ 2x = -4
⇒ x = -2
Otherwise, if x - 4 < 0, then |x - 4| = -(x - 4), so
G(x) = F(x) ⇒ 3x + 2 = -(x - 4) + 2
⇒ 3x + 2 = -x + 6
⇒ 4x = 4
⇒ x = 1
However,
• when x = -2, we have
G(-2) = 3(-2) + 2 = -4
F(-2) = |-2 - 4| + 2 = 8
• when x = 1, we have
G(1) = 3(1) + 2 = 5
F(1) = |1 - 4| + 2 = 5
so only x = 1 is a solution to G(x) = F(x).
Answer: 171 km³ per year.
_________________________________
{ <u><em>Note</em></u>: This is the answer for which you seek. However, this is the "amount" lost in the first year. For the second year, you would calculate 0.006% of
"171 km³ " to find out how the amount of ice lost in the second year.}.
__________________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________________
0.006% = 0.006/ 100 = 0.00006 ;
0.00006 * 2,850,000 km³ = 171 km³ per year.

Alright, lets get started.
Suppose first mechanic charges= x
So, second mechanic charges will be =
(because total of their rates was 125)
first mechanic worked for 5 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours and together they charged a total of $1225
Means



Adding 10 x in both sides

Subtracting 1225 from both sides

Dividing 10 in both sides

x = 65
For second mecahnics rate = 125 - 65 = 60
Hence The mechanic who worked 5 hours charged $ 65 per hour, the one who worked 15 hours charged $ 60 per hour: Answer
Hope it will help :)
Answer:
Square root of 3 is around 1.7
So point b is the best approximation
Commutative property it states that no matter what way you order it the result is the same
