Answer:
The first one and the last one are true (Since −6 is 6 units to the left of 0, |−6|=6 and −6 is closer to zero on the number line than −7, so |−6|<|−7|.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value is the distance to zero, and it is always positive. That means the positive and negative versions of a number have the same absolute value. That means the first one is true, and the second and third ones are false. For the last one, -6 is closer to zero, so that means it would be true (The absolute value of -6 is 6, and the absolute value of -7 is 7).
1 gallon of milk costs 0.50 more than 5 times a gallon of water.
From that information milk is 5x +0.50 the cost of water.
The cost of milk is $3.75, so now we have:
3.75 = 5x + 0.50
Subtract 0.50 from each side:
3.25 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5:
X = 3.25 / 5
x = 0.65
The cost of water = $0.65
Answer:
32 red
28 white
20 blue
Step-by-step explanation:
.40 x 80 = 32 red
.35 x 80 = 28 white
.25 x 80 = 20 blue
The totals have to equal the total number of strands.
Answer: r = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the point (-2, r) lies on the graph of:
2*x + y = 7.
Then, if we that point is on the graph of the equation, we can replace the values and we will have:
2*(-2) + r = 7
and now we solve this for r-
-4 + r = 7
r = 7 + 4 = 11
r = 11
