Break down the problem into these two equations;
x = -31
-x = -31
Solve for the 1st equation; x = -31
x = -31
Solve for the 2nd equation; -x = -31
x = 31
Collect all solutions
x = ±31
Check the solution
When x = -31, the original equation; |x| = -31 does not hold true. Thus, we will drop x = -31 from the solution set.
Check the solution again;
When x = 31, the original equation |x| = -31 does not hold true as well. Thus we will drop x = 31 from the solution set.
Therefore,
<u>No solution exists to this equation. </u>
Answer:
its 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:Example1: 2 and 2 1/2
The mark that is closest to the right end of the glue stick is for 2 1/2 inches.
Answer on last part is 2 1/2 inches
Example 2: 1 2/4 and 1 3/4
The mark that is closest to the right end of the paper clip is for 1 3/4
Answer on last part is 1 3/4
Step-by-step explanation: the ruler is split into halves and fourths between the whole numbers the longer lines are halves shorter are fourths.
Let x = total distance he covered
3x/4 by bus
1/2 . x/4 = x/8 by jogging
the remaining distance = x/8 by walking
thus x/8 = 800ft
x = 8 . 800 = 6400ft
