Answer:
The answer is 15x+10b-45y+50 which is the choices C.
Step-by-step explanation:
5(3x+2b-9y+10)
15x+10b-45y+50
They're not equivalent.
(vertical bars) represents the absolute value of x. How it works is that it turns negative numbers positive but leaves 0 and positive numbers alone (hence it gets a number's distance from 0 on the number line).
(square brackets) usually represents the floor function, which returns the largest integer that is less than or equal to x. (The floor of x can also be written as --- it depends on what your textbook/source says).
To solve , you first transform it into the equivalent equation . Then by definition of absolute value, there are only two solutions for the first equation: x = 10 or x = -10.
[x] = 10 has infinitely many solutions. For example, the floor of 10 is 10, so , thus a solution for the second equation is x = 10
The floor of 10.1 is 10, so , thus another solution for the second equation is x = 10.1.
The two equations do not have the same solution set (as x = 10.1 does not solve |x| - 3 = 7 but solves [x] = 10), so they're not equivalent.
Answer:
Both the legs or sides are equal
GOOD LUCK FOR THE FUTURE! :)
So dad is represented by x
son is represented by y
so x is (x=) 7 times his son (7y)
our first sentence is x=7y
10 years later (x+10, y+10) he will be 3 times as old as his son (x+10=3(y+10))
or 10+x=3(y+10)
so our sentences are
x=7y
and
x+10=3(y+10)
first we subsitute x=7y for x in the second equation
(7y)+10=3(y+10)
7y+10=3(y+10)
we distribute
7y+10=3y+30
subtract 3y from both sides
4y+10=30
subtract 10 from both sides
4y=20
divide both sides by 4
y=5
the son is currently 5 years old
x=7y
subsitute y=5 for y in equation
x=7(5)
x=35
the dad is currently 35 years old
in 10 years
dad is 45 and son is 15
dad=35
son=5
