So first, you get the absolute value to one side:

Next, set up two equations; One where the value inside the absolute value lines is positive, and another where it is negative, and solve both for the variable:

Your answers are
8 and -8, or +-8.
Answer:
Approximately Normal
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the population is normally distributed, the sampling distribution of the sample mean will also be normally distributed, even when the sample size is small.
If we know that Laura's canvas is square, and one side is 22cm,
area of a square is l*w, with a special case of l=w
the area will be
A= l*w=22*22=484cm^2
also, Asquare is=l^2
The equation for this should be 4n - 15
Principal: $49,000
Depreciation Rate: 50%
Depreciation Time: 5 years
Exponential Function: y = 49,000 (0.50)^x
Plug it in: y = 49,000 (0.50)^4
0.5^4= 0.0625
0.0625 x 49,000 = 3062.5
Value of Car after 20 years: 3062.5
Now, we need to find out how much the car decreases in ONE year.
Half of 3062.5 = 1531.25
1531.25/5 = 306.25
3062.5 - 306.25 = 2756.25
Value of car after 21 years: $2756 ---> 2800 (nearest hundred dollars my bad)
Hope this helps! Have a great day!
