plzzz help A model train is on a track 100 cm from its starting point. Turning a switch displaces the train either forward or ba

ckward 25 cm along the track depending on which way the switch is turned. Which equation models the position of the train along the track after you turn the switch? A. |x − 25| = 100 B. |x − 100| = 25 C. |x + 25| = 100 D. |x + 100| = 25

Answer: B.  |x-100| = 25

Explanation:

Draw out a number line. Mark 75, 100 and 125 on the number line as points A, B, and C in that order. Don't worry about the spacing.

The value of x represents where the train is. So if we had say x = 85, then it would be at location 85 on the number line. Writing |x-100| is the distance from x to 100. The absolute value ensures the distance is never negative. We want this distance to be 25 because after traveling 25 cm, the switch is turned, and the train goes the other way.

Which of the following (-1,8) and (5,-2) are the distance of the line segment
olganol [36]

The formula of a distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We have the points (-1, 8) and (5, -2). Substitute:

d=\sqrt{(5-(-1))^2+(-2-8)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+(-10)^2}=\sqrt{36+100}=\sqrt{136}\\\\=\sqrt{4\cdot34}=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{34}=\boxed{2\sqrt{34}}

Which is a solution for 7 (x + 2) = 35?<br><br> A. -2<br> B. 7/33<br> C. 3 <br> D. 5<br> E. 26
enot [183]

7(x+2) = 35

Use the distributive property:

7x + 14 = 35

Subtract 14 from each side:

7x = 21

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 21 / 7

X = 3


The answer is C. 3

svetoff [14.1K]

The equation be x/100 * 28,600 = 33,500, then we get 17%.

Trevor's total employee benefits exists 17.1% of his gross pay.

Therefore, the correct answer is option d. 17.1.

<h3>How to find Trevor's total employee benefits?</h3>

If you would like to know Trevor's total employee advantages, you can estimate this utilizing the subsequent steps:

To find the percentage of the total employee benefits x% of $28,600 exists $33,500.

To estimate the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining variables to the right side. Simplify the values to estimate the result.

x/100 * 28,600 = 33,500

x = 33,500 * 100 / 28,600

x = 117.13% = 117%

117% - 100% = 17%

x = 17%

The correct result would be 17%.

Trevor's total employee benefits exists 17.1% of his gross pay.

Therefore, the correct answer is option d. 17.1.
