Answer:

Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets see

Let x be a positive number

x=3

|3| = 3

True

Let x =0

|0| = 0

True

Let x be a negative number

x=-3

|-3| =-3

3 = -3

False

So this is sometimes true

WITCHER [35]

maple syrup = x

corn syrup = 50-x

6x + 0.8(50-x)=2.36*50

6x+40-0.8x=118

5,2x=78

x= 15 gallons of maple syrup

50-15 = 35 gallons of corn syrup

Answer:

Second : 1/6 x + 47

Third : 1 2/3 x + 35 - 1 1/2 x + 12

Fourth : 5 (1/3x) + (5) (7) - (3) (1/2x) + (3) (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

I would start by expanding the expression, showing each step. Then, simplify by collecting like terms.

To expand, you multiply the term outside of the brackets by each term inside the brackets.

5(1/3x + 7) - 3(1/2x - 4)

= 5(1/3x) + (5)(7) - (3)(1/2x) + (3)(4) Showing how to expand

= 5/3x + 35 - 3/2x + 12 Simplified above step by multiplying

= 5/3x - 3/2x + 47 Collected like terms (35 + 12 = 47)

= 10/6x - 9/6x + 47 Change fractions to the common denominator 6

= $\frac{10-9}{6}x$ + 47 Combine fractions with common denominator

= 1/6x + 47 Fully expanded

See which options match the steps I took to expand the original expression.

The second step is the same as option 4.

The last step is the same as option 2.

I bolded those steps that are the same.

Some options use mixed fractions (whole numbers and fractions).

From the third step, I will convert the improper fractions to mixed fractions.

5/3x + 35 - 3/2x + 12

= 1 2/3x + 35 - 1 1/2x + 12

This is the same as option 3.

$\frac{5}{3}x = 1\frac{2}{3}x$ On the left side, 5 goes into 3 ONE time. The ONE becomes the whole number. After 5 goes into 3, there is 2 left, which becomes the numerator.

$\frac{3}{2}x = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ On the left side, 3 goes into 2 ONE time. The ONE becomes the whole number. The remainder is 1, which becomes the numerator.
