I because -9 is the smallest number and |6| is the biggest number.
STEP ONE MULTIPLY: -20x+10=-6-12x
STEP TWO BRING TO OTHER SIDE: -8x+10=-6
STEP THREE CONTINUE WITH OTHER SIDE: -8x=-16
STEP FOUR DIVIDE:
x=2
ANSWER: x=2
For absolute value, you are trying to figure out how many spaces it will take from that number to 0.
For example, if I was given the problem
| 3 |, I would ask myself "How do I get from 3 to 0? Since it takes you 3 spaces to get to 0, the answer will be 3. The same goes for any problem. If there is a negative sign in front of the absolute value, you add a negative to your answer.
hope that helps!
You have not provided the complete question (value of y at a certain value of x), therefore, I cannot give u a specific final answer. However, I can explain how to solve this problem and you can apply on the numbers you have.
y varies directly with x means that as x increases, y also increases and vice versa.
This can be represented by the following equation:
y = kx
where k is the constant of proportionality.
Solving this for k, we would find that:
k = y/x
Examples:
If we are given that y = 4 at x = 2, then:
k = y/x = 4/2 = 2
If we are given that y = 1 at x = 3, then:
k = y/x = 1/3
In general, if we are given that y = a at x = b, then:
k = a/b
Hope this helps :)
