Does - |-4| = | -(-4)?

1 answer:

6 0

The first is an absolute value sign. But there is a - outside the first one so the -4 does become positive but then becomes negative again so you have -4

The second value is basically saying the same thing as -1x-4 which become a negative times a negative which is positive. You end up with 4.

So no it does not equal each other.

I do see an extra absolute value symbol though on the right side of the equal sign. But it looks like either way it would be -4 = 4 and that's not true. So either way it should be false.

A yoga studio sells monthly memberships. The function f(x) = −x2 + 50x − 264 models the profit in dollars, where x is the number

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

x = 6, x = 44; The zeros represent the number of monthly memberships where no profit is made.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = −x² + 50x − 264

−x² + 50x − 264 = 0

-x² + 44x + 6x - 264 = 0

-x(x - 44) + 6(x - 44) = 0

(x - 44)(-x + 6) = 0

x = 6, 44

Which value for x makes the sentence true? 1/10 + x = 1/7

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

3/70

Step-by-step explanation:

change 1/10 and 1/7 so the denominator (bottom number) is the same. 1/10= 7/70 and 1/7= 10/70 so you need 3/70 to make the two numbers equal.

Esmerelda bought a bag of jelly beans. There were 24 green jelly beans, which made up 8%, percent of all the jelly beans in the

Margarita [4]

So, let's look at the problem once again.

8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.

Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.

We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.

92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)

24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276

276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.

276 plus 24 = 300.

Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.

Given the equation 9x+3/4 y=6 and 2x+1/2 y=9, by what factor would you multiply the second equation to eliminate y and solve the

anyanavicka [17]

To eliminate a cariable in a system of equations, we multiply the variable by a factor that will make both coefficients of the variable to be equal.
Thus, we multiply the coefficient of y in the second equation by a factor that will make it equal to the coefficient of y in the first equation. i.e. multiply 1/2 by a factor that makes it equal to 3/4. and the factor is 3/2.
Therefore, the third option is the correct answer.
