Answer:
It is actually less than 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Choose a number between 0 and 20.
If the difference is less than 10 then Eric wins.
Let us x is Eric's number. 0 <u><</u> x <u><</u> 20
If Eric wins. |x -7| < 10
|x-7| < 10 → -10 < x-7 < 10 → -10 + 7 < x - 7 + 7 < 10 + 7 → -3 < x < 17
Taking into account that the number must be given between 0 and 20.
0 <u><</u> x <u><</u> 20
-3 < x < 17
→ 0 < x < 16
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression can be rearranged to ...
b = 3 -9/(a+5)
In order for b to be an integer, (a+5) must be an integer divisor of 9. There are exactly 6 of those: ±1, ±3, ±9.
The attached table shows the values (a, b) = (x₁, f(x₁)).
3(6x-2)+ 2(x+5)
= 3*(6x)-3*2 +2x +2*5 (distributive property)
= 18x -6 +2x +10
= (18x +2x) +(10-6)
= 20x +4
The final answer is 20x+4.
Hope this helps~
