Mathematics
1 answer:
kirill [66]2 years ago
3 0

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

I NEED YALL’S HELP <br> 2x+12=64<br> Step by step
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

2x + 12 = 64

x = 26 (mark brain if this helps and is correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve equations with one missing variable we must use the order of operations of equality

step 1: use the subtraction property of equality meaning subtract each side of the equation

ex: 2x + 12 - 12 = 64 - 12   (2x = 52)

step 2: use the division property of equality meaning divide each side of the equation by 2

ex: 2x/2 = 52/2   (x = 26)

step 3: check your answer by putting 26 as x because that is our answer

2(26) + 12 = 64 (multiply 2 * 26)

52 + 12 = 64 (add 52 + 12)

64 = 64 (if both sides of the equation are the same number like 64 = 64 then your answer is true meaning that x is equal to 26)

a school knows that 38% of its incoming students own a smart phone and a tablet.what percent of students who own a smartphone al
Ede4ka [16]
We know that
38% of the incoming students own both a smartphone and a tablet
84% of the students own a smartphone

We are asked to find the percentage of students who own a smartphone

Let N be the total number of incoming students and S be the total number of students

So,
(N (38%) + S (84%)) / (N + S)

If we know the total number of students or incoming students, we can solve for the percentage by substituting the value of N or S
