Let the number be x

Then the absolute value of the number from -2 should be 4

$|x--2|=4$

$|x+2|=4$

So either

$(x+2)=4$

$x=4-2=2$

$-(x+2)=4$

$x+2=-4$

$x=-4-2$

$x=-6$

[tex] <B>The numbers are 2 and -6</B> [/tex[

They are four units away from -2 on the number line

Some members of the cooking club are making cakes which they will sell at a street fair for $10 apiece. It costs $10 for a booth

Alika [10]

Answer:

The cooking club sales covers the expenditure when 2 piece of cakes are sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Selling price of each piece of cake = $10

Cost for booth at fair = $10

Ingredients for each piece of cake = $5

We need to find the number of pieces of cake sold when the sales cover the expenditures.

Solution:

Let the number of pieces be 'x'

So We can say that the point at which the sales cover the expenditures can be calculated as Selling price of each piece of cake multiplied by number of pieces will be equal to Cost for booth at fair plus Ingredients for each piece of cake multiplied number of piece of cakes.

framing in equation form we get;

$10x =10+5x$
