The student is not correct.
Absolute value means distance from zero
|-9| = 9
|4| = 4
Since 9 is greater than 4,
|-9| is greater than |4|
In other words, -9 is further from zero then 4
The answer is 40.
1000/25 will give you the new ratio
Simple way of thinking about it
25 enlisted men = 1 officer
1000enlisted men = X officer
Cross multiply (25 by X officer and the 1 officer by the 1000)
25x = 1000
X= 40.
When writing the equation keep in mind that 7 + x is said as a term that is squared so it has to be squared while it's still together; (7 + x)².
Let
x-------> the length side of the original cube
we have

Divide by
both sides

The system of equations is equal to
--------> equation 
--------> equation 
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
we know that
the solution of the system of equations is the intersection both graphs
therefore
the solution is

therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
