Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of the bag of sand with an unknown weight be given as "x" pounds. Then, the difference between the weight of an average bag of sand which is given to be as 22.3 pounds, is given as
. Therefore, the absolute value function describing the difference between the weight of an average bag of sand and a bag of sand with an unknown weight will be given as:
.
Let us represent this by f(x) or y. And thus, we get:

Answer:
if by decomposition you mean breaking it into parts then
break it into 2 triangles and 1 rectangle
left to right
triangle with base y and height h
h=10
y=3
area of triangle=1/2bh
area=1/2(10)(3)
area=5(3)
area=15
rectangle of length x and height h
area= length times width
x=8
h=10
area=8 times 10
aera=80
last triangle
should be same as other since same base (y) and same height (h)
15
add
15+80+15=120

Can you show a picture of the original question?
12x > 18x - 27 - 15, 12x > 18x - 42, 0 > 6x - 42, 42 > 6x, 7 > x, x < 7
