Write an absolute value inequality to represent each situation.

Minchanka [31]3 years ago

Answer:

║ x - 231 ║ ≤ 459

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 228 ft below sea level, this is x' = -228 ft. Also,  we have 690 ft above sea level, this is x" = 690 ft.

Since x is our elevation in feet, x ranges from -228 ≤ x ≤ 690.

To write an absolute value equation for x, we first take the average of the two values for the ranges to obtain the ideal value of x.

So, ideal value = [690 + (-228)]/2 = 462/2 = 231.

We also find the tolerance by taking the difference of both values and dividing by 2. So tolerance = [690 - (-228)]/2 =  [690 + 228)]/2 = 918/2 = 459.

Subtracting 231 from each value of the inequality we have

-228 - 231 ≤ x - 231 ≤ 690 - 231

-459 ≤ x - 231 ≤ 459

Since we have in magnitude the values on the left and right side of the inequality,

So ║ x - 231 ║ ≤ 459

Answer:

  • 170.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original water level is x.

<u>Use below equation to find its value:</u>

  • x + 2.4 + 3 1/2 = 162 + 14.6
  • x + 2.4 + 3.5 = 176.6
  • x + 5.9 = 176.6
  • x = 176.6 - 5.9
  • x = 170.7 cm

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

A. $27.23

B. $467.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Lin is shopping for a couch with her dad and heard him ask the salesperson “how much is your commission?” The salesperson says that her commission is 5 1/2% of the selling price. A.How much commission will the salesperson earn by selling a couch for $495?

B.How much money will the store get from the sale of the couch?

Salesperson commission = 5 1/2%

Price of couch = $495

A. Amount earned by the salesperson = 5 1/2% of $495

= 5.5% × 495

= 0.055 × 495

= 27.225

Approximately

Amount earned by the salesperson = $27.23

B.How much money will the store get from the sale of the couch?

Amount the store get = Total price - amount earned by salesperson

= $495 - $27.23

= $467.77
