The solutions of the equation are -12 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative, if IxI = a, where a > 0, then

  • x = a
  • x = -a

∵ 2Ix - 2I - 8 = 20

- At first add 8 to both sides

∴ 2Ix - 2I = 28

- Then divide both sides by 2

∴ Ix - 2I = 14

Now By using the notes above equate x - 2 by 14 and -14

∵ x - 2 = 14

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ x = 16

∵ x - 2 = -14

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ x = -12

The solutions of the equation are -12 and 16

Seventy- five percent, or 15 of the students in Emily’s home room class are going on a field trip. Two thirds, or 12 of the stud
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Emily has 20 students and Santiago has 18 students in home rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

to figure out the number in Emily's class we need to answer this question - '15 is 75% of what number'?

we can use:

is/of = %/100

is = 15

of = 'n'

75% = 75/100 or 3/4

15/n = 3/4

cross-multiply to get:

3n = 60

n = 20

So there are 20 students in Emily's home room

Now we find the number of students in Santiago's home room:

the question is - '12 is 2/3 of what number'?

we can write this equation:

12 = 2/3n

multiply each side by 3/2 to get:

36/2 = n

18 = n

18 students in Santiago's home room
