First we define the variables:
m = multiple choice questions
s = short answer questions
Next we need to satisfy 2 conditions:
1) There are a total of 40 questions. We can represent this mathematically using the variables I defined:
2) The multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points and the short-answer are worth 4 points but they need to total 100 points. This can also be represented mathematically:
By satisfying the conditions provided we were able to create the 2 equations!
Answer: |10 - (-8)|
The absolute value is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two numbers is a subtraction equation.
10 - (-8) Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive
10 + 8 = 18
If you look at it as the first negative sign means -1 multiplied by the next negative number, "Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive!"

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^3 - 12x
=3x(x^2 - 4)
= 3x(x + 2)(x - 2)
so (x+2), (x - 2) and 3x are the factors of 3x^3 - 12x
answer:
x + 2
