The answer would be 0 solutions.
Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?
That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!
Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.
Let's put in -6.
-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6
Let's try 3.
3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3
Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.
So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?
None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive!
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.
Set up a system of equations:




x represents how many tee shirts were bought, and y represents how many long sleeve shirts were bought.
For the first equation, subtract y from both sides to get x by itself:

We'll now use substitution. Since x is equal to a value, we can substitute this value for the other equation:

Distribute the 10 to both terms in parentheses:



Combine like terms:


Subtract 90 from both sides:

Divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself:

6 long sleeve shirts were bought.
Now you have a value for y. Input this value into the first equation:

Subtract both sides by 6 to get x by itself:

3 tee shirts were bought.
The answer is B. 3 tee shirts and 6 long sleeve shirts.
Answer:
2 * $87 - $12 = R
Step-by-step explanation:
Let R represent the cost of Vanessa's rent.
Vanessa spent $87.00 on entertainment for the week.
Her rent costs twelve dollars less than double that amount. Breaking it down, the expression "double that amount" is expressed as (2 × 87). Subtracting 12 from double that amount, the final expression would become
R = 2(87) - 12
R =
R = 174 - 12
The correct option is
2 * $87 - $12 = R
