Answer:
You could just replace all the given possible values of k in the inequality and see which ones are solutions, but let's solve this in a more interesting way:
First, remember how the absolute value works:
IxI = x if x ≥ 0
IxI = -x if x ≤ 0
Then if we have something like:
IxI < B
We can rewrite this as
-B < x < B
Now let's answer the question, here we have the inequality:
I-k -2I < 18
Then we can rewrite this as:
-18 < (-k - 2) < 18
Now let's isolate k:
first, we can add 2 in the 3 parts of the inequality:
-18 + 2 < -k - 2 + 2 < 18 + 2
-16 < -k < 20
Now we can multiply all sides by -1, remember that this also changes the direction of the signs, then:
-1*-16 > -1*-k > -1*20
16 > k > -20
Then k can be any value between these two limits.
So the correct options (from the given ones) are:
k = -16
k = -8
k = 0
Answer:
no, he would write 30 text messages in 10 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Pick any value for x, like x = 0, plug it into the equation, and get the value for y. For x = 0,
2(0) + y = 5
y = 5
The ordered pair is (0,5). Find other ordered pairs using the same reasoning.
It would be 100. Hope it helps!
