When you are checking your answers, your formula should read out as 9(2.222) - 8 = 12, which is simply filing in the x value that you calculated (it comes out to 11.998 which is correct). You wrote it out as 9(2.22) - 8 = -6, which is why your checking process was incorrect
1. 7 and -7 are both 7 units away from 0. They are 14 units away from each other. Absolute value helps because rather than 7+(-7) being 0 absolute value makes anything positive so it becomes 7+7=14 to be able to count the units between the two.
2. 5 and -5 are both 5 units away from 0. They are 10 units away from each other. Absolute value helps because rather than 5+(-5) being 0 absolute value makes anything positive so it becomes 5+5=10 to be able to count the units between the two.
3. 2 and -2 are both 2 units away from 0. They are 4 units away from each other. Absolute value helps because rather than 2+(-2) being 0 absolute value makes anything positive so it becomes 2+2=4 to be able to count the units between the two.
Hope that helps
This is a factorial sequence that can be modeled by An = n!. As you may see, the increasing numbers are factorials of 1,2,3,4, and 5. Factorial means multiplying backwards and is represented by !. For example, 1! is 1*1 =1. 2! is 2*1, 3! is 3*2*1, 4! is 4*3*2*1 etc.
Increased by 15
past score was x
increased by 15 means he raised to 15+x
it was raised to 83%
therefor
x+15=83
first option is right (and first test was 68%)
Verrrrrrry interesting ! / / / Every multiple of an even number is another even number. When you take any whole number and the one 'before' it ... no matter which direction 'before' means .... one of the numbers is even. So their product is a multiple of an even number, and it must be another even number.
