Answer:
|x + 12|
Step-by-step explanation:
The question I took form you I assume looks like this...
|x - (-12)|
Therefore, if we simplify this, the answer is |x + 12|
This is the answer because you would multiply -1 by -12
Sales increased 50% last year, from $5,000 to $10,000. When sales dropped from $10,000 to $5,000 this year, sales decreased 50%
7(3a + 12) = 168 ← ( divide both sides by 7 )
3a + 12 = 24 ← ( subtract 12 from both sides )
3a = 12 ← ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = 4
OR
distribute the parenthesis by 7
21a + 84 = 168 ← ( subtract 84 from both sides )
21a = 84 ← ( divide both sides by 21 )
a = 4
Square units are the units of measuring area. Therefore, this question asks for the area of the room.
The room has the shape of a rectangle with:
length = 13 units and width = 9 units
The are of the rectangle can be calculated using the following rule:
area of rectangle = length * width
area of the room = 13 * 9 = 117 square units
