The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.

For the equation
-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14
rearrange terms to get
|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4
Now,
• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that
-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
In the first case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4
<em>x</em> = 37/8
In the second case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4
<em>x</em> = 3/8
Answer:
0.1463
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of observations = 10
Sample mean = 10.5
Sum of standard deviation = 264.5
X = 14
We are to calculate The leverage statistic for study hour 14 using the data above
= 1/10 + (14-10.5)²/264.5
= 1/10 + 3.5²/264.5
= 0.1 +12.25/264.5
= 0.1+0.04631
= 0.1463 is the leverage statistic for the study
Hey!
Hope this helps...

The first thing we know is that all the answers equal 99, so we cannot cross any answer off, however, what we want to know is what answer (after distribution) looks like 36 + 63...
A.) 11(3 + 6) > 33 + 66
Does 33+66 look like 36+63?
NO
B.) 9(4 + 7) > 36 + 63
Does 36+63 look like 36+63?
YES
C.) 11(4 + 5) > 44 + 55
Does 44+55 look like 36+63?
NO
D.) 3(15 + 18) > 45 + 54
Does 45+54 look like 36+63?
NO
So...
The answer is: B.) 9(4 + 7)
U is right u gunna fail LOL
