All together, the two girls ate 8/15 of a pizza. you mulitply your fractions out of equal denominaters and get that.
|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.
Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio between flamingos and chachalacas is 2:1, we see that the ratio of flamingos to chachalacas to parrots to herons is 10:5:7:3. The sum of these numbers is 25, so every 'ratio number' gets 375/25 = 15 animals. So the number of chachalacas is 15 * 5 = 75.
