-14x + 14 = 8
A hot-air balloon has an 8-foot diameter that is changing at a rate of 14 foot per minute. How long in minutes, x, will it take until the balloon has a diameter of 14 feet?
We observe that when we clear x we have:
-14x = 14-8
-14x = 6
Which means that the balloon will not reach a diameter of 14 feet
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 1 = 9
4x + 1 -1 = 9-1
4x=8
8/4=2
The absolute value of a number is the distance from point to the origin. Since Paula is located at a position of −12 feet relative to the ground, then the distance from point -12 on the number line to the origin is 12 (distance cannot be negative).
Thus, |-12|=12 and Paula is at a distance of 12 feet.
