Mathematics

these two bars |  | mean <u>absolute value</u>

here's how to find x

| x - 7| = 2

first apply the absolute rule

x - 7 = 2                 x - 7 = -2

in both equations add 7 on both sides

x - 7 + 7 = 2 + 7       x - 7 + 7 = -2 + 7

then simplify the expressions

x = 9                         x = 5

now combine these two solutions to get your answer

x = 9 or x = 5

hopefully my explanation helps

Answer A, B, C, Please, and Thanks!
DochEvi [55]

A) The variable on the horizontal axis of the graph (the independent variable) is "pounds of rice". That is what the first number in the ordered pair (6, 18) represents.

The variable on the vertical axis of the graph (the dependent variable) is "total cost in dollars". That is what the second number in the ordered pair represents.

(6, 18) represents that the total cost of purchasing 6 lbs of rice is $18.

B) The unit price is found at the point where the independent variable has the value 1. That would be at the point (1, 3), which indicates the unit price is $3 per pound.

C) You would have to buy 4 lbs of rice for the total cost to be $12. There are at least two ways to find the answer.

  1. Draw a horizontal line on the graph at cost = $12. It intersects the graph at lbs = 4.
  2. Divide the total cost by the unit price. $12/($3/lb) = 4 lb.
