Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Ben's observations when the wait time is as advertised represented by the equation 2|x − 2| − 12 = 0, to get the times when the serving time is as advertised, relative to noon, we will calculate for the value of x in the equation;
Note that the modulus of the function |x-2| will return both positive and negative value.
For the positive value of |x-2|;
2|x − 2| − 12 = 0
2(x − 2) − 12 = 0
open the parenthesis
2x-4 - 12 = 0
2x - 16 = 0
add 16 to both sides
2x-16+16 = 0+16
2x = 16
x = 16/2
x = 8
For the negative value of |x-2|;
2|x − 2| − 12 = 0
-2(x − 2) − 12 = 0
open the parenthesis
-2x+4 - 12 = 0
-2x - 8 = 0
add 8 to both sides
-2x-8+8 = 0+8
-2x = 8
x = -8/2
x = -4
<em>Hence the times when the serving time is as advertised, relative to noon are 8minutes and 4minutes </em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, make sure you know which section of the number line you want as 1 and 2. Next, put 0.25 not right at 0 but very close, then put 0.75 farther but not too much from 0.25. Then for the decimal 1.99 put that very close to where you marked the 2 but, not on the 2. Finally, put 2.03 very close to 2 but not exactly on the 2. Also, make sure that the number line is marked evenly.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The <u><em>Midpoint Theorem</em></u> states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side.
so
In this problem
solve for x
Multiply by 2 both sides
subtract 2x both sides
Adds 1 both sides
