Answer:
You could just replace all the given possible values of k in the inequality and see which ones are solutions, but let's solve this in a more interesting way:
First, remember how the absolute value works:
IxI = x if x ≥ 0
IxI = -x if x ≤ 0
Then if we have something like:
IxI < B
We can rewrite this as
-B < x < B
Now let's answer the question, here we have the inequality:
I-k -2I < 18
Then we can rewrite this as:
-18 < (-k - 2) < 18
Now let's isolate k:
first, we can add 2 in the 3 parts of the inequality:
-18 + 2 < -k - 2 + 2 < 18 + 2
-16 < -k < 20
Now we can multiply all sides by -1, remember that this also changes the direction of the signs, then:
-1*-16 > -1*-k > -1*20
16 > k > -20
Then k can be any value between these two limits.
So the correct options (from the given ones) are:
k = -16
k = -8
k = 0
The correct answer is $40,000.
32,000 = 80% of 40,000
Answer:
(-7, -12)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-3y=8
5x-2y=-11
Is there any of the like terms can be added and the result will be 0? No, so we have to multiple one OR both of the equations to make that one number do that.
(I will try to remove the y like terms so i will multiple both of them by the opposite so both of the ys will be 6)
2(4x-3y=8)
-3(5x-2y=-11)
8x-6y=16
-15x+6y=33
(now the easy part… cancel the 6s and add the equations)
8x+(-15x)=-7x
16+33=49
-7x=49
(divide 49 by -7)
x=-7
Replace x in any of the equations and you’ll get the y value.
4x-3y=8
4(-7)-3y=8
-28-3y=8
-3y=36
y=12
Threfore, there is one solution which is….. (-7,-12)
$480 is the price after the discount was added. We can then assume that $480 is 3/4 the price of the original item. To find 1/4, we simply divide by 3, which equals $160. since $160 is one quarter of the price, the original price was $640.
