Mathematics

2|x + 5| = 16

|x + 5| = 16 ÷ 2

|x + 5| = 8

x + 5 = 8   (a)

x = 3

-(x + 5) = 8   (b)

-x - 5 = 8

-x = 13

x = -13

x = 3, -13

The first step would be to divide both sides by 2...because u want to get the absolute value on one side, and everything else on the other side

2 | x + 5 | = 16...divide both sides by 2
| x + 5 | = 16/2
| x + 5 | = 8

u would then solve x + 5 = 8 and x + 5 = -8 for ur answers

Adam is going to cook a turkey for 14 people and wants to allow ¾ lb of turkey for each person.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
I did (450*3/4=337.5) to get how much each person would eat, then I did (337.5*14=4725g) to see how big the turkey should be. I then converted grams to kilos (4725*0.001=4.725 kg), and I got how big the turkey would be. It turns out the appropriate size of the turkey would be medium, so then what I did was that I looked for the medium price of the turkey per kg, and found that it was £5.99 per kg. I did (4.725*5.99) and I got about £28.30. It would cost £28.30 for 14 people.

Which equation represents a circle with a center at (–4, 9) and a diameter of 10 units?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(x + 4)^2 + (y – 9)^2 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a circle is

(x - h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2}  = r^{2}     where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius

In your case, h = -4 and k = 9 and r = 5

So, (x + 4)^2 + (y – 9)^2 = 25
