The answer to the question
Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation: As our first step, we simplify inside the absolute value. 7 - 9 is -2 so we have -|-2|.
A common mistake at this point in the problem is to change the minus a negative to plus a positive but don't fall into this trap.
We must ignore the negative outside the absolute value until our very last step in this problem.
So we take the absolute value of -2 which is 2 and we have -(2) or -2.
Notice that I used parentheses around the 2 as it comes out of the absolute value.
Answer:
Substitute a value you want for x, for example:
if x = 1 then:
(1-7)/3 = -6/3 = -2
So,-2 would be the output for the imput x = 1
Answer:
x( x-8)(x+8)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 - 64x
Factor out an x
x( x^2 -64)
This is the difference of squares x^2 -8^2 which is a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
x( x-8)(x+8)
It is given that one third of restaurant is given away and the value that remains is $15000.
If one third is gone that means two thirds of the restaurant is valued at $15000.
Let the value of the restaurant be x.
So the original value of the restaurant was $22,500.
Option A is correct.
