Answer:

A number line going from negative 1 to positive 7. Points are at positive 1 and positive 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

|8 - 2*p| = 6

Remember that the equation:

|f(x)| = A

with A > 0

means that:

f(x) = A

or

f(x) = -A

Then for our case, we can rewrite:

|8 - 2*p| = 6

as:

(8 - 2*p) = 6

or

(8 - 2*p) = -6

Now we can solve these two equations to find the two possible values of p.

From the first one, we get:

8 - 2*p = 6

8 - 6 = 2*p

2 = 2*p

2/2 = p = 1

so one solution is  p = 1

Now from the other equation, we can get the other solution:

(8 -2*p) = -6

8 - 2*p = -6

8 + 6 = 2*p

14 = 2*p

14/2 = p = 7

So the two solutions are p = 1 and p = 7

Then the correct option is:

"A number line going from negative 1 to positive 7. Points are at positive 1 and positive 7."

Solve the system of equations.in this form: (x, y)<br><br> -5y + 8x = -18<br><br> 5y + 2x = 58
Gre4nikov [31]
If we add the equations it looks like
-5y + 8x + 5y + 2x = -18+58
so 10x=40
so x=40/10=4
now let's replace x by 4 in the second equation
5y +2*4=58
5y=58-2*4=58-8=50
so y=50/5=10
so (x, y) = (2, 10)

Choose the word phrase (greater than, less than, or equal to) to make the statements true.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Five pencils and two marches are worth greater than thirty paper clips.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be paper clip.

Let 'y' be a match

and let 'z' be a pencil.

Now, let's write each statement as an equation:

Each paper clip can be traded for three matches:

x = 3y

Each pencil can be traded for six paper clips:

z = 6x

Now, five pencils equals 30 paper clips and two matches equals two thirds papel clips.

Therefore, we can say that Five pencils and two matches equals 30.66 matches. Therefore, five pencils and two marches are worth greater than thirty paper clips.
