He is not correct because he made a sign error.
He is not correct because there are no solutions.

Answer:

He is not correct because he made a sign error.

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 |8-x| - 6 = -12

-2 |8-x| = -12 + 6

-2 |8-x| = - 6

2 |8-x| = 6

|8-x| = 3

2 possible solutions:

8-x = 3 ----> x = 5

or

8-x = -3  ----> x = 11

Comparing the answer choices, we can see that Johan got the sign of x = 11 wrong.

Hence the correct answer is:

He is not correct because he made a sign error.

Answer:

43.94?

Step-by-step explanation:

I think if you use inverse cos you should get the correct number. So, to find cos, you need to know the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. Here, the reference angle would be the person holding the kite. The distance from the person to the barn is the adjacent side, which is 18. The string of the kite, I assume, would be 25.

cos(∅) = \frac{18}{25}

cos(∅) = 0.72

cos⁻¹(0.72) = 43.94

I don't know if that's what you're looking for, but... If it's not correct, lmk so I can rewrite it. :)

Reflection about the y-axis is according to the rule
(x,y)->(-x,y)
Therefore F(x,y) -> F'(-x,y)
The distance between F' and F is (-x,y)-(x,y)=-2x, or the positive distance is 2x.

Hey there!

Set up an equation. This would be 4+0.5x=12. You have to get x by itself, so subtract 4 on each side. You get 0.5x=8. Divide by 0.5 on each side to get x=16. Heidi purchased 16 tickets.

I hope this helps!
