A term is a number or variable in a math sentence (such as an expression or equation).
Example:
a + 2b + c + 5
5 is a constant; a,b, c are all variables.
The probability would be 6/16 or 37.5% because there are 16 coins in total and 6 of them are worth more than 5 cents. :)
To answer the question above, evaluate the number of cookies each of them placed on a tray. The calculations are shown below,
Ronny C1 = 0.15 x 20 = 3
Celina C2 = 3
Jack C3 = 0.30 x 20 = 6
Michelle C4 = 20 - (3 + 3 + 6) = 8
From the calculation above, <em>Michelle</em> placed the most number of brownies on the tray.
The answer would be 0 solutions.
Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?
That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!
Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.
Let's put in -6.
-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6
Let's try 3.
3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3
Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.
So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?
None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive!
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.
