|2x+8| = -14 can be rewritten as 

(2x+8) = - 14      or     -(2x+8) = -14
2x = -22                      -2x-8 = -14
x = -11                         2x = 6
                                    x = 3
The solution set is {-11,3}.

This is impossible.. Absolute value cannot be a negative..

İf the is so: |2x+8|=14


Solution:

1--- 2x+8=14 

x=3


2--- 2x+8=-14

x=-11



Good Luck:)

What are the intercepts of this line?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

x-intercept is -1; y-intercept is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is relatively easy to read off.  It's the x-value where the graph crosses the x-axis, and here is (-1,0).

The y-intercept is best estimated as (0,+0.5).

The correct answer is the 3rd one on the list.

Can you please explain how you got the answer? Also plz tell me what the closed and open circle mean again..
ale4655 [162]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Open circle means that x does not equal that number. For example, the open circle on C is on 8, so that shows x is not equal to 8.
  • Closed circle means that x does equal that number. For example on A, there is a closed circle on 8, so x could equal 8.

First, we need to solve the equation.

  1. Subtract 200 frim 1200 -> 125x ≥ 1000.
  2. Divide 125 from 1000 to isolate the x -> x ≥ 8

So, that means x is bigger than or equal to 8.

A farmer wishes to fence a rectangular area behind his barn. The barn forms one end of the rectangle and the length of the recta
Semenov [28]
1. The formula for calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, is:

 P=2L+2W

 P is the perimeter of the rectangle (P=320 feet).
 L is the lenght of the rectangle.
 W is the width of the rectangle.
<span>
 2. The problem says that the length of the rectangle is three times the width, so you have:
</span>
 L=3W

 3. When you substitute L=3W and P=320, into P=2L+2W, you obtain:

 P=2L+2W
 320=2(3W)+2W
 320=6W+2W
 8W=320
 W=320/8
 W=40 feet

 4. The barn forms one end of the rectangle. Therefore the linear feet of fence (x) is:

 x=P-W
 x=320 feet-40 feet
 x=280 feet
<span>
 How many linear feet of fence must he buy?
</span>
 The answer is: 280 feet
