X could be either 6 or -10
1+|2+x|=9
|2+x|= 9-1
|2+x|= 8
x could be 6 because 2+6=8
x could also be -10 because the final answer inside the '| |' becomes positive
|2+-10|=8
|-8|=8
8=8
Thus x could be 6 or -10

1 + |2 + x| = 9
| 2 + x | = 9 - 1
| 2 + x| = 8

2 + x = 8 -(2 + x) = 8
x = 8 - 2 -2 - x = 8
x = 6 -x = 8 + 2
-x = 10
x = -10

solutions are : x = 6 or x = -10

juin [17]

If the width is 12 and the length is 18, the perimeter of the rectangle is 12 + 12 + 18 + 18, or 60. So yes the perimeter can be 60.

A number is selected from the set (1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, 29, 38, 500). If equal elemental probabilities are assigned, what is

Katen [24]

Answer:

$\frac{7}{9}$ OR 77.78%

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we first need to find out how many numbers fit the "less than 29 or odd" group.

This would be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, and 29, which is a total of 7 numbers.

Next, we figure out the total amount of numbers in the population.

This would be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, 29, 38, and 500, which is a total of 9 numbers.

Finally, we put the first number (7) over the total (9) = $\frac{7}{9}$

$\frac{7}{9}$ is now able to be written in a percentage, if you need.

The probability is $\frac{7}{9}$ OR 77.78%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. is 0.125x – 3.375

2. 0.6x – 5

3. 0.89x-5

Just use a slope calculator and desmos to see if your answer is right. Also a rounding calculator if the answer for one is too long, example: the third one said 0.88888888888889 for the first number so i rounded that to 0.89 to make sure it doesnt look like a computer did it

Savatey [412]

The answer would be y = 3.1

19.9 + 8 = 9y

27.9 = 9y

27.9/9 = y

3.1 = y

y = 3.1.

A farmer wishes to enclose a pasture that is bordered on one side by a river (so one of the four sides wont require fencing) She

docker41 [41]

The area enclosed is (2x)(600-2x).(2x)(600−2x)=1200x−4x2
In order to maximize we need the derivative to be equal to 0.y′=1200−8x=0
1200=8x
x=150
Therefore the sides for maximum area are 150*300.
