Answer:
The Pistons lost due to the law of averages
Step-by-step explanation:
Premise 1: The Detroit Pistons are a better all-around team than the San Antonio Spurs
Conclusion 1: The Pistons did not lose [ the 2005 NBA finals ] due to lack of ability.
Premise 2: The Pistons will beat the Spurs two out of three times, and the Spurs will beat one out of three times
Premise 3: The Pistons won the series ' 5th and 6th games — two in a row, and if they had won the final game they would have won three out of three.
Conclusion 2: The Pistons lost due to the law of averages
Lets solve the equation first:
<span> 0.5 – |x – 12| = –0.25
</span>= 1/2 - |x - 12| = -1/4
= 2 - 4<span>|x - 12| = -1
= 4|x - 12| = 3
= |x - 12| = 0.75
positive case, x >= 12
x - 12 = 0.75
x = 12.75
negative case, x < 12
x - 12 = -0.75
x = 11.25
So those are the two solutions.
These apply:
</span>1.) The equation will have no solutions.
2.) A good first step for solving the equation is to subtract 0.5 from both sides of the equation.
<span>3.) A good first step for solving the equation is to split it into a positive case and a negative case.
</span><span>5.) The negative case of this equation is x – 12 = –0.75.</span>
