The answer would be 0 solutions.
Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?
That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!
Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.
Let's put in -6.
-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6
Let's try 3.
3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3
Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.
So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?
None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive!
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.
At least 14 economy and at least 5 deluxe...total of 45 seats. He makes a bigger profit from selling economy seats....so we need the most economy seats we can get.
45 seats - 5 deluxe = 40 economy
so the most profit would be 40 economy and 5 deluxe
40 economy = (40 x 30) = 1200 profit
5 deluxe = (5 x 25) = 125 profit
for a maximum profit of : $ 1325
The mean is the average of the numbers: a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers.
Therefore: If the amount spent on books per month by all her classmates is leveled that amount would be $30
To calculate it: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are
You find the prime factorization by breaking the number down into other numbers that are prime. Start by breaking up 312 into 39 * 8. 39 breaks up into 3 * 13, and 8 breaks up into 4 * 2 which breaks up into 2 * 2. So the prime factorization of 312 is 3 * 13 * 2 * 2 * 2 or

. When you multiply those together you'll get 312.
