How to determine the smallest absolute value

alexandr1967 [171]

The absolute value is basically the distance from zero, and distance is ALWAYS positive. After you removed your negatives, you need to just compare the values. For example. The smallest absolute value between -27 and 19 is 19. Hope this helped!

Liam is setting up folding chairs for a meeting. If he arranges the chairs in 6 rows of the same length, he

vladimir2022 [97]

We will need to have two equations here, having x as the missing length. We know that the chairs are in the same amount on each occasion, so each equation should be equal to the other.

This sets up a problem of:

6x + 7 = 4x + 13

7 and 13 being the leftover chairs and 6 and 4 being the rows. Let’s solve for x.

x = 3

Knowing this, we plug in x for one of the equations

6(3) + 7
18 + 7
25

Liam has 25 chairs.

Use the graph to determine the vertex point of the quadratic function. Is the vertex a

Feliz [49]

Answer:

B) Vertex (1,2), maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine if the graph has a maximum or a minimum value. Since the graph opens downwards, it has a <u>maximum</u> value.

The maximum is the point that has the greatest y value. We can see that the greatest y value is at $y=2$ . Going down two units from that spot, we can see that the x value is at $x=1$ . We can plug those into the vertex form, $(x,y)$ . By plugging in we get the point $(1,2)$ .

Solve the simultaneous equations. You must show all your working to find x and y. 1/2x -3y = 9 5x y + y = 28

dedylja [7]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x = 6 , y = -2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \frac{1}{2} x - 3y = 9-----------(1)\\5x + y = 28 ----------(2)$

Taking equation (1)

$\sf \frac{1}{2} x -3 y=9$

Multiplying both sides by 2

$\sf x-6y = 18$

Adding 6y to both sides

$\sf x = 18+6y$

Putting this in (2)

5(18+6y) + y = 28

5(18+6y) + y = 28

90 + 30y+y = 28

31y+90-28 = 0

31 y + 62 = 0

31y = -62

Dividing both sides by 31

y = -2

Now,

x = 18 + 6y

x = 18+6(-2)

x = 18-12

x = 6
