The solutions of the equation are -12 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative, if IxI = a, where a > 0, then

x = a
x = -a

∵ 2Ix - 2I - 8 = 20

- At first add 8 to both sides

∴ 2Ix - 2I = 28

- Then divide both sides by 2

∴ Ix - 2I = 14

Now By using the notes above equate x - 2 by 14 and -14

∵ x - 2 = 14

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ x = 16

∵ x - 2 = -14

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ x = -12

The solutions of the equation are -12 and 16

During the sixth grade lunch period, Paul asks every third student who enterd the lunchroom a survey question. Which question is

Neko [114]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

You would have to eliminate A because the students have not yet been to other school districts especially if it's every third. You would also have to eliminate B because well, there really isnt any other place to eat but the lunchroom because otherwise it might pose a problem, and with C it can be difficult but again, if we were to try to change something the time they take really has no impact. D would have to be the correct answer because every third student will have various favorite lunch items and will ultimately tell the school that the gross macaroni that is like...unedible is bad and needs to be taken out...immediatley.

The sum of two confescutive integers is at least 46. What is the least possibly pair of integers?

dezoksy [38]

An integer is a whole number. Sum means to add and since they are consecutive, there is only a difference of 1 between them.

1) 21 + 23: not consecutive
2) 23+24= 47: has to be at least 46
3) 22+23= 45: has to be at least 46
4) 24+25= 49: has to be at least 46

So we have two possibilities: either #2 or #4. Find least possible pair of integers.

x= first integer
x+1= second integer

x + (x+1) >= 46
2x + 1 >=46
2x>=45
x>=22.5

Answer:
The first integer has to be greater than or equal to 22.5. Since integers are whole numbers, round up to the next whole number. The least possible integers are #2) 23 and 24.

Hope this helps! :)

Lines 3x-2y+7=0 and 6x+ay-18=0 is perpendicular. What is the value of a?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf a = 9 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are given to us which are perpendicular to each other and we need to find out the value of a . The given equations are ,

$\sf\longrightarrow 3x - 2y +7=0$

$\sf\longrightarrow 6x +ay -18 = 0$

Step 1 : Convert the equations in slope intercept form of the line .

$\sf\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{3x}{2} +\dfrac{ 7 }{2}$

and ,

$\sf\longrightarrow y = -\dfrac{6x }{a}+\dfrac{18}{a}$

Step 2: Find the slope of the lines :-

Now we know that the product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1. Therefore , from Slope Intercept Form of the line we can say that the slope of first line is ,

$\sf\longrightarrow Slope_1 = \dfrac{3}{2}$
