Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
14) false
15) false
Step-by-step explanation:
14) 120% of a positive whole number is always greater than the number. If the number is 1, 120% of it would give us 1.2 which is greater than 1. However if the number is a negative whole number, 120% of it would give us a smaller number. Let's try -1. 120% of -1 would give us -1.2, which is smaller than -1. Hence the statement is false.
15) 0.5% of a number is 0.5/100 of the number so we should multiply the number by 5/1000. 5/100 is only 5% of the number. Hence the statement is also false.

Answer:
x=−6
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms and use the properties of equality to get the variable on one side of the equal sign and the numbers on the other side. Remember to follow the order of operations.
∣x+2∣−5=−1
Add 5 to both sides of the equation.
∣x+2∣=4
Use the definition of absolute value.
x+2=4
x+2=−4
Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
x=2
x=−6
