these two bars | | mean <u>absolute value</u>
here's how to find x
| x - 7| = 2
first apply the absolute rule
x - 7 = 2 x - 7 = -2
in both equations add 7 on both sides
x - 7 + 7 = 2 + 7 x - 7 + 7 = -2 + 7
then simplify the expressions
x = 9 x = 5
now combine these two solutions to get your answer
x = 9 or x = 5
hopefully my explanation helps
Rules in adding fractions:
1) Make sure that they have common denominator.
5/10 + 3/10
2) Since both fraction have a denominator of 10, add the numerator and place the sum above the denominator
5/10 + 3/10 = (5 + 3)/10 = 8/10
3) Simplify the fraction
8/10 can still be simplified into 4/5
8 ÷ 2 = 4
10 ÷ 2 = 5
5/10 + 3/10 = 4/5
Answer:
Option B is right
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in the graduating class of a certain college, 48 percent of the students are male and 52 percent are female. In this class 40 percent of the male and 20 percent of the female students are 25 years old or older.
Males Females
48% 52%
25 or more
age 40% 20%
One student in the class is randomly selected,
to find the probability that he or she will be less than 25 years old
= Prob (male and less than 25 years old)+Prob (female and less than 25 years old)
(since mutually exclusive and exhaustive)
= 
After rounding off to 1 one decimal
we get 0.7
Option B is right
Answer:
The number of students who actually went for the skiing is 0.75 times the total number of students .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
Students were surveyed about their wither break plans
The percentage of students who did not go for skiing = 25 %
So, The percentage of students who did not go for skiing =100 % - 25 % = 75%
Let The total number of students = x
So, The number of students actually went for the skiing = 75% of the total number of students
I.e The number of students actually went for the skiing =
× x
Or, The number of students actually went for the skiing = 0.75× x
∴ The number of students actually went for the skiing = 0.75 x
Hence The number of students who actually went for the skiing is 0.75 times the total number of students . Answer
The <u>correct answer</u> is:
Line L must be perpendicular to both line O and line P as well.
Explanation:
Since N, O and P are all parallel, any line that intersects N will intersect O and P at the same angle. Since L is perpendicular to N, intersecting at a right angle, this means it must be perpendicular to O and P also.
