1 gallon cost $15

1 quarts cost $4

1 quarts = 1/4 gallon

15x for number of gallon cans

2 cans at $4 each = $8

15x + 8 = 53

Subtract 8 from both sides:

15x = 53-8

15x = 45

Divide both sides by 15:

x = 45/15

x = 3

She bought 3 gallon cans of paint

Plus she bought 2 quart cans, which is equal to a half gallon.

She bought a total of 3.5 gallons of paint.

Let f(x) = sin(x) + icos(x). Show that |f(x)| = 1.
Oksanka [162]
F(x) = sin(x) + icos(x)
|f(x)| = sqrt(sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)) = sqrt(1) = 1

Therefore, |f(x)| = 1

-4 × 7 with an absolute value is?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Your answer is 28. 

If the equation is in an absolute value, you do the operation like normal and then take the positive version of the number because an absolute value is just how far on a number line the number is from zero and distance cannot be measure in negative numbers.
