Answer:
First notice that they’re asking for the absolute value of the equation.
The absolute value is how far that number is from 0.
Basically it’s the number without a negative sign.
ok so 6-27 = -21
The product for 6-27 (21) is 21 spaces away from 0.
|6-27| = 21
21 is the answer to your question.
Hope this helped and pls mark me brainliest if it did :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let red marbles = X.
The probability is 1 out of 5, written as 1/5
1/5 in terms of red marbles is equal to the number of red marbles divided by 5x, where 5x is the total number of marbles.
1/5 = x/5x
Now you have 5x total marbles, x red and 4x blue.
Add 5 more red and the new probability is:
(x+5)/(5x+5) = 1/3
Simplify:
3x+15 = 5x+5
Now solve for x:
Subtract 3x from both sides:
15 = 2x +5
Subtract 5 from each side:
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 10/2
X = 5
There were originally 5 red marbles.
11 spaces :) 7 minus 11 is -4
