Answer:
3 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Raphel bought 2 1/2 pounds of chicken for $9
Therefore the cost per round of the chicken can be calculated as follows
9÷5/2
= 9×2/5
= 18/5
= 3 3/5
1/2=3/6
3/6+1/6=4/6 goodluck
Call the numbers x and y. According to the first sentence, x + y = 67. According to the second sentence, x = y + 5. You can combine these two equations to find the values of these variables:
x + y = 67
(y + 5) + y= 67
2y = 62
y = 31
You can use this to find x by plugging in y to either original equation:
x = y + 5
x = 31 + 5
x = 36
<u>No solution</u>: because the absolute value is positive and can't equal a negative
|x| = -1
<u>One solution: </u>because zero only has one sign
|x| = 0 ⇒ x = 0
<u>Two solutions:</u> absolute value is positive whether x is positive or negative.
|x| = 2 ⇒ x = 2 or x = -2
