Answer:
x = - 
, x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function always gives a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
- 3x + 16 = 18 or -(- 3x + 16) = 18
Solving
- 3x + 16 = 18 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
- 3x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = -
or
-(- 3x + 16) = 18
3x - 16 = 18 ( add 16 to both sides )
3x = 34 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
| - 3(- ) + 16 | = | 2 + 16 | = | 18 | = 18 ← True
| - 3( ) + 16 | = | - 34 + 16 | = | - 18 | = 18 ← True
Thus x = - and x = are the solutions
Negative 1 / Square Root of 2
Answer:
This is the answer I got
Step-by-step explanation:
JK / KL = MN / NP 6 / 4 = 18 / 12
Now u cross multiply. if both numbers are equal, they are similar. In this case, they are similar. 6 x 12 = 4 x 18
72 = 72
though the two corresponding sides of the triangles mentioned are proportional (proportionality being 1:3 ) but they need not be similar
for similarity either the third corresponding sides must be proportional or the included angle between the two proportional sides must be equal
Answer:
3 peanut cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Plate 1:
Number of chocolate chip = 4
Number of peanut butter cookies = 1
Probability of drawing chocolate chip cookies from plate 1 :
Probability =( number of required outcome / Total possible outcomes)
P(chocolate chip) = 4 / 5
Plate 2:
Number of chocolate chip = 2
Number of peanut butter cookies = p
P(chocolate chip) = 2 / (2 + p)
Probability of drawing chocolate chip from plate 1 and then plate 2 = 8/ 25
(4/5) * 2/(2+p) = 8/ 25
8 / (10 + 5p) = 8/ 25
8(10 + 5p) = 8 * 25
80 + 40p = 200
40p = 200 - 80
40p = 120
p = 3
