Equation #1:
|2x - 3| = 17
The first solution is
2x - 3 = 17
2x = 17 + 3 = 20
x = 10
The second solution is
3 - 2x = 17
-2x = 17 - 3 = 14
x = -7
The solutions are x = 10 or x = -7.

Equation #2:
|5x + 3| = 12
The only solution is
5x + 3 = 12
5x = 12 - 3 = 9
x = 9/5

Let us examine the given answers.
a. Equation #1 and #2 have the same number of solutions.
    FALSE
b. Equation @1 has more solutions than Equation #2.
    TRUE
c. Equation #1 has fewer solutions than equation #2.
    FALSE
d. None of the statements a,b, or c apply.
    FALSE

Answer: b.

evablogger [386]
The correct answer is D. 14c + 5g + 12.

The entry fee is $6 each. 6 + 6 = 12
Each girl goes on 7 rides which cost c dollars. 7c + 7c = 14c
The number of games both girls play totals 5. And each game costs g dollars. 2g + 3g = 5g.

Add all the costs up and you get 14c + 5g + 12 as their total cost for going to a carnival.

Kevin says that “a line segment is the part of a line containing two endpoints.” What additional information is needed to make t
kakasveta [241]

The statement "That does not extend in both directions." will make the definition, precise.

Kevin's line segment definition is correct.

However, the end points in a line segment implies that the line segment does not extend past its two end points.

So, to make it precise;

Kevin needs to include that the line segment does not extend in both directions, in the definition.

Hence, option (c) is correct.
