Answer:

<h2>For c = 5 → two solutions</h2><h2>For c = -10 → no solutions</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

|a|\geq0

for any real value of <em>a</em>.

|a| = b > 0 -  <em>two solutions: </em>a = b or a = -b

|a| = 0 - <em>one solution: a = 0</em>

|a| = b < 0 - <em>no solution</em>

<em />

|x + 6| - 4 = c

for c = 5:

|x + 6| - 4 = 5           <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

|x + 6| = 9 > 0   <em>TWO SOLUTIONS</em>

for c = -10

|x + 6| - 4 = -10           <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

|x + 6| = -6 < 0   <em>NO SOLUTIONS</em>

<em></em>

Calculate the solutions for c = 5:

|x + 6| = 9 ⇔ x + 6 = 9 or x + 6 = -9         <em>subtract 6 from both sides</em>

x = 3 or x = -15

Rewrite 1 / 6 barrels over 2 over 5 hours as a unit rate
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

5/12 barrel/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

 Type this as a fraction:

  (1/6) barrel

--------------------

  (2/5) hours

Division by 2/5 is equivalent to multiplication by 5/2:

1                5

--- barrel * -------------- = 5/12 barrel/hour

6                2  hours

Alternatively, this problem could be done using decimal fractions:

0.1667 barrel

-------------------- = 0.416666 barrel/hour  =  5/12 barrel/hour

0.4 hours

The price, P, of a sweater was discounted by 10% in
aalyn [17]

Answer:

In terms of P, the price of the sweater after the discount is 0.72P.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the price P would represent 100% and the price was discounted by 10%, you can calculate 10% of 100% and subtract that amount, which would be:

100*10%=10

100-10=90%

This means that the price paid would be 90% of P. Then, the statement says that the price was discounted by another 20%. So, you have to calculate 20% of the price and subtract that amount from the price:

90*20%=18

90-18=72%

According to this, this means that in terms of P, the price of the sweater after the discount is 0.72P.
