To solve, we will need to plug in -5 for x in both instances.
|-5 + 2| / -5 + 2
|-3| / -3
Now, these absolute value bars may be a bit puzzling. What we have to do is take the absolute value of the number inside of the brackets. Meaning, that if the number is negative, we make it positive, and if the number is positive, then it stays positive.
3 / -3
-1
Hope this helps!! :)
Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
The answer is -31 2/5<span />
Answer: 2.46
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for x-score is given by :-
, where 
= Sample mean , 
= population mean, 
= population standard deviation, n= sample size.
As per given , n=10
= $29,056
= $3,339
= $31,650
Then,
Hence, the z-score = 2.46
