Which number line shows the solution set for |p-3|=9?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mademuasel [1]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Option b

p = -6 or p = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is a function that transforms any value x into a positive number.

Therefore, for the function f(x) = |x|  x> 0 for all real numbers.

Then the equation:

|p-3| = 9 has two cases

(p-3) = 9    if h > 3  (i)

-(p-3) = 9    if h < 3 (ii)

We solve the case (i)

p = 9 + 3\\p = 12

We solve the case (ii)

-p +3 = 9\\p = 3-9\\p = -6

Then the solution is:

p = -6 or p = 12

Bethany wrote the equation X+ (x+2)+(+4)= 91 when she was told that the sum of three consecutive odd integers had a
azamat

Answer:

Option A) Bethany is correct because consecutive odd integers will each have a difference of two

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of 3 consecutive odd integers is 91. Let the first odd integer is x. The next odd integer will be obtained by adding 2 in x i.e. (x + 2). The third odd integer will be obtained by adding 2 in the second odd integer i.e. (x + 2) + 2 = x + 4

So, the 3 odd integers will be:

x  , (x+2) and (x+4)

Their sum is given to be 91. So we can write:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 91

Hence, we can conclude that: Bethany is correct because consecutive odd integers will each have a difference of two.

Other options are not correct because consecutive odd integers always increase by 2. For example, the next odd integer after 1 is 3, which is obtained by adding two, similarly the next odd will be 5 and so on.

In-s [12.5K]

Below, H = heads, T = tails, and 1, 2, 3 are the number outcomes of the spinner. For example, H1 means heads on the coin toss followed by 1 on the spinner.

If heads appears, a spinner that can land on any number from 1 to 3 is spun.

This gives possible outcomes: H1, H2, H3

If tails appears, a second coin is tossed

This gives possible outcomes: TH, TT

All outcomes are: H1, H2, H3, TH, TT
