The answer would be 0 solutions.
Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?
That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!
Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.
Let's put in -6.
-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6
Let's try 3.
3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3
Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.
So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?
None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive!
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.
The answer is 4000 because the value of 4 is 40000 so times that by 1/10 gives you 4000
No its smaller............................
Answer:
13) 25 and 17
14) cupcakes = $5
brownies = $3
Step-by-step explanation:
13) you can set this up as equations
so x + y = 42
x-y = 8
solve simultaneously by subtracting from each other
2y = 34
y= 17
if y = 17
42 - 17 = 25 = x
14) set up as equations again
Ben 7c + 10b = 65
franklin 7c +7b = 56
subtract from eachother
3b = 9
b = $3
7c + 10(3) = 65
7c = 35
c = $5
