Answer: -6

Step-by-step explanation: -|b-a|

-|-2-4|

-|-6|

-6

Once you get rid of the absolute value bars the negative sign is still outside of them making 6 negative again. Hope this helped! :P

Take x-2 and insert it into 2x^2 + 3x-2 where the x is located
2x^2 + 3x-2
2(x-2)^2 + 3(x-2)-2

Now work out 2(x-2)^2 + 3(x-2)-2 also follow PEMDAS
2(x-2)^2 + 3(x-2)-2
Since (x-2)^2 is an Exponent, lets work with that first and expand (x-2)^2.
(x-2)^2
(x -2)(x-2)
x^2 -4x + 4
Now Multiply that by 2 because we have that in 2(x-2)^2
(x-2)^2 = x^2 -4x + 4
2(x-2)^2 = 2(x^2 -4x + 4)
2(x^2 -4x + 4) = 2x^2 - 8x + 8
2x^2 - 8x + 8

Now that 2(x-2)^2 is done lets move on to 3(x-2).

Use the distributive property and distribute the 3
3(x-2) = 3x - 6

All that is left is the -2

Now lets put it all together
2(x-2)^2 + 3(x-2)-2

2x^2 - 8x + 8 + 3x - 6 - 2

Now combine all our like terms
2x^2 - 8x + 8 + 3x - 6 - 2
Combine: 2x^2 = 2x^2
Combine: -8x + 3x = -5x
Combine: 8 - 6 - 2 = 0

So all we have left is
2x^2 - 5x

How did the temperature change if: at first it decreased by 60% and then increased by 80%. PLEASE NEED HELP!

Sergio039 [100]

The temperature decreased by 28%

Step-by-step explanation:

How did the temperature change if :

At first it decreased by 60%
Then increased by 80%

Assume that the temperature before decreasing is 100%

∵ The temperature before decreasing = 100%

∵ It decreased by 60%

→ Before decreasing : decreasing : after decreasing

→ 100% : 60% : 100% - 60% = 40%

∴ The temperature after decreasing = 40%

Assume that the temperature after decreasing is 100%

∵ The temperature after decreasing = 100%

∵ It increased by 80%

By using the ratio method

→ After decreasing : increasing : after increasing

→ 100% : 80% : 100% + 80% = 180%

→ 40% : : x%

By using cross multiplication

∴ 100% × x% = 40% × 180%

- Divide both sides by 100%

∴ x% = $\frac{(40)(180)}{100}$

∴ x% = 72%

∵ At first the temperature = 100%

∵ At last the temperature = 72%

∵ The first the temperature > the last the temperature

∴ The decreasing in temperature = 100% - 72% = 28%

The temperature decreased by 28%
