The answer is A, hope this helps :]
Let's do this step by step:
Subtract both sides by 7
-2|x-4|= -10
Divide each side by -2
|x-4|= 5
Now since this is an absolute value equation, you will have two answers. This means you make the equation both positive and negative.
X-4= 5and -(x-4)= 5
Solve for x for both
X-4= 5: add four on both sides
X= 9
-x+ 4= 5: subtract 4 and divide by -1
X= -1
So your answer is: X= -1 , 9
We are given
Jim's backyard:
Length is

width is

Since, this is rectangle
so, we can find area of rectangle



Area of one sod:
length is

width is

Since, it is rectangle in shape
so,



Number of pieces of sod:
we can use formula
Number of pieces of sod = (area of Jim's backyard)/(area of one sod)

now, we can simplify it
pieces need ..............Answer
Answer:
z = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The question can be answered in 2 steps as follows:
Step 1: Calculation of the constant of the variation
The equation for the joint variation can be given as follows:
z = cxy ................... (1)
Where;
z = 60
c = constant = ?
x = 5
y = 6
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve c, we have:
60 = c * 5 * 6
60 = c * 30
c = 60 / 30
c = 2
Step 2: find z when x = 7 and y = 3
Since from Step 1 c = 2, we now use equation (1) and substitute the values into it to find z as follows:
z = 2 * 7 * 3
z = 42
