|a+b| + |c| when a= -5, b= 8, c= -13:
|-5+ 8|+ |-13|
= |3|+ 13
= 3+ 13
= 16
The correct answer is D. 16~
<span>6( 5-8x) +12= -54
30-48x+12=-54 this comes from distributing(multiplying) 6x5 and 6 times -8x
30+12-48x=-54 you have to add the coefficients 30+12
42-48x=-54
-42 -42
-----------------------
-48x=-96 divide by -48
x=2</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
step one: *multiply the negative 9 with the 5j.
which which will come out to be -45j
step 2: now now multiply the -9 with the k. which it comes out to be negative 9k.
step 3: -45j + -9k
1. -18 +15x = 3(4x-6) + 3x
-18 + 15x = 12x - 18 + 3x
-18 + 3x = -18 + 3x
3x = 3x
x = All Real Numbers (because we don't know what x is since the equation is 3x = 3x, we can assume that it is all "real" numbers)
2. -10 + 5x = 5(x - 3) + 5
-10 + 5x = 5x - 15 + 5
-10 = -10
Answer Undefined (because the x coefficients canceled out, we don't know what x even is, so we can claim it as undefined.)
Answer:
Veronika's weight = 92 pounds
Kate's weight = 46 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Veronika's weight = x
Let Kate's weight = y
The sum of Veronika's and Kate's weight is 118 pounds.
x + y = 118
Veronika weighs 26 pounds more than Kate.
x = y + 26
How much do they weigh individually?
We substitute y + 26 for x in Equation 1
x + y = 118
y + 26 + y = 118
26 + 2y = 118
2y = 118 - 26
2y = 92
y = 92/2
y = 46 pounds
x = y + 26
x = 46 + 26
x = 92 pounds
Hence,
Veronika's weight = 92 pounds
Kate's weight = 46 pounds
