|a| = b gives
a =b or a = -b

so,
|-x| = -10
gives
-x = -10 or -x = 10
x = 10, -10

now let us verify,
when x = 10, |-10| = +10 and it is not = -10
so, x= 10 is NOT a solution.

when x = -10, |-(-10)| = |10| = 10 and it is not = -10
so, x= -10 is NOT a solution.

hence, this equation does not have a solution.

If we know that |...| can never be negative, we can directly deduce that this equation does not have any solution.

How do you know what to split 26 into ?

madam [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you are factoring the expression

Given

4y² + 26y + 30 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(2y² + 13y + 15) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term.

product = 2 × 15 = 30 and sum = 13

the factors are 10 and 3

Use these factors to split the y- term

2y² + 10y + 3y + 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2y(y + 5) + 3(y + 5) ← factor out (y + 5) from each term

= (y + 5)(2y + 3)

Thus

4y² + 26y + 30

= 2(y + 5)(2y + 3)

A recipe from Sally’s "Chocoholic’s Cookbook" requires 70\frac{1}{6} grams of chocolate for each chocolate fudge cake. How many

erik [133]

Answer:

842 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

$70\frac{1}{6} =\frac{421}{6}$

$\frac{421}{6} *12\\\\842$

One cake consists of 421/6 grams of chocolate.

Since Sally wants to give 1 cake to 12 friends, we multiply 421/6 and 12.

To make 12 cakes, she needs 842 grams of chocolate.
