Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
The solutions are ...
p +m|x +n| = k . . . . . given
m|x +n| = k -p . . . . . . subtract p
|x +n| = (k -p)/m = (p -k)/-m . . . . . . must have (p-k)/-m ≥ 0
x = -n ± (p -k)/-m
For the given conditions, m < 0, p > k, we are guaranteed that (p-k)/-m > 0, so there are 2 solutions.
There are 15,500 sheets of paper
I think the missing number should be
12.87
3·m - 2/3 - 2·m + 1/4 = 2/12
m - 2/3 + 1/4 = 2/12
m = 2/12 - 3/12 + 8/12
m = 7/12
