Answer:

B. They say that doing homework leads to his success in school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the answers, C and D already make sense, so they're not the answers. The answer A does not have an unclear antecedent because "my mom and me" would not be written as "my mom and I". B is the only answer left. If you look at the sentence, it begins with "they", and it ends up saying "his success in school". This sentence includes a confusing antecedent because the sentence does not define the person who it is describing.

Sorry if this explanation was confusing. I hope this helps! Have a great day!! C:

The absolute value is defined as

$|x|=\begin{cases}x&\text{if }x\ge0\\-x&\text{if }x$

So for example, if x = 3, then |x| = |3| = 3, since 3 is positive. On the other hand, if x = -5, then |x| = |-5| = -(-5) = 5, since -5 is negative. The absolute value is always positive.

For the inequality |7 + 8x| > 5, you consider the two cases where the argument to the absolute value (the expression you find inside the bars) is either positive or negative.

• If 7 + 8x ≥ 0, then |7 + 8x| = 7 + 8x, so that

$|7+8x|>5\implies 7+8x>5 \implies 8x>-2 \implies x>-\dfrac14$
