Y = 16, -16
explanation: the absolute value bars make the expression inside positive, if they were negative to begin with. so, a negative number like -16 becomes 16, and a positive number like 16 still stays the same
The answer is 4) 140.
If we closely examine the pattern of the series, we see that after a number is subtracted by a value, it is multiplied by the same value, and then it moves on to the next natural number.
- 10 - 2 = 8
- 8 × 2 = 16
- 16 - 3 = 13
- 13 × 3 = 39
- 39 - 4 = 35
The next step, according to the pattern, would be to multiply 4.
A scientific theory is a validated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on multiple facts that have been frequently verified through research and experimentation. Fact theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.
Answer:
x = 3 and x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
2(5x - 3) = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )
5x - 3 = 12 ( add 3 to both sides )
5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 3
(b)
5(2x + 1) = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )
2x + 1 = 10 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
2x = 9 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x =
