Answer:

x = -1 , - 11,

Step-by-step explanation:

| x | = x

|- x | = x

f(x) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

x = - 1 , f( - 1) = 2 | - 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 1 , f( 1 ) = 2 | 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 7 | - 4 = 14 - 4 = 10 , False

x = 11, f( 11 ) = 2 | 11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 17 | - 4 = 34 - 4 = 30 , False

x = - 11, f( - 11) = 2 | -11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 14 , f( 14 ) = 2 | 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = -14 , f( - 14 ) = 2 | - 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 8 | - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 , False

x = - 26 , f( - 26) = 2 | -26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | -20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = 26, f( 26 ) = 2 | 26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 32 | - 4 = 64 - 4 = 60 , False

                                                    OR

Given f ( x ) = 6

f( x ) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6  = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6 + 4 = 2 | x + 6| - 4 + 4                 [ adding 4 to both sides ]

10 = 2 | x + 6 | + 0

5 = | x + 6 |                                    [ dividing both sides by 2 ]

- 5 =\  ( x+ 6) \ = 5\\\\                            [ \ | x | = a\  => \ -a \ =  x \ = a  \ ]

- 5 - 6 =  \ x + 6 - 6 \ = \ 5 - 6\\            [ \ subtracting \ by \ 6 \ ]

-11 = \ x \ =  - 1

The width of a rectangle is 6 in. less than its length. The perimeter is 68 in. What is the width of the rectangle?
stepan [7]
Length= y in.
Width= (y-6) in.
Perimeter = 2(L*W)
Perimeter=2L+2W
68in.=2(y)+2(y-6)
68=2y+2y-12
68=4y-12
68+12=4y
4y=80
y=20
Length= 20 inches, width =14 inches

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

94.86 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The frigate bird has a top recorded speed of 153 kilometers per hour. How would you state this speed in the appropriate customary unit? (1 km = 0.62 mi)

The appropriate customary unit is calculated as:

1 km = 0.62 miles

153 km = x

Cross Multiply

x = 153 × 0.62 miles

94.86 miles

Therefore, the appropriate customary unit is 94.86 miles per hour

A red kangaroo jumps along at 40 km/h. At this rate how long would it take to jump 2 km?
LenKa [72]

 

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:  40 km/h

2 km

t = d / v
t = 2 km / 40 km/h
t = 0.05 h * 60 minutes = 3 minutes

 

<span>At this rate, it would take 3 minutes for the red kangaroo to jump 2 km.</span>
