The distance: use absolute value
Between x and 8: x-8
The distance between x and 8: | x-8 |
“is no more than” means it can be that or be less than that, so use ≤
The distance between x and 8 is no more than 4
| x-8 | ≤ 4
x = number of 1-cent stamps
y = number of 8-cent stamps
z = number of 12-cent stamps
We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.
"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.
You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x
-------------
x+y+z = 31
x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8
x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x
2.5x-8 = 31
2.5x = 31+8
2.5x = 39
x = 39/2.5
x = 15.6
Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).
Answer: 36/121
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 6 red marbles out of total 11.
The probability of drswing two red marbles is 6/11 x 6x11 = 36/121
I think it’s D sorry if you get this wrong I also have to do my work
Answer:Do you have a pic of the map? It would make it easier to solve if I could see the map. Its basic area. A=base times height. If the park is 50 m long and is a square, you would do 50 times 50=2500
