Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

|-14| = Absolute value of -14

Absolute value is the distance from 0

Distance can not be negative, so the absolute value of -14 must be positive.

Using this information, we can cross out A and B.

If the number inside the absolute value is positive, the number without absolute value is equal to itself.

If the number inside the absolute value is negative, the number without absolute value is the opposite to itself.

Example.

|-2| = 2

The distance from 0 to -14 is 14.

The answer is D, 14.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The values of $a$ and $b$ are $5$ and $-\frac{15}{7}$ , respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are mistakes in the statement, correct form is presented below:

$5+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{7} + 2\sqrt{3} = a - b\cdot \sqrt{3}$ .

By direct comparison we have the following system of equations:

$a = 5$ (1)

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{7}+2\sqrt{3} = -b\cdot \sqrt{3}$ (2)

In (2) we solve for $b$ :

$\left(\frac{1}{7}+2 \right)\cdot \sqrt{3} = -b\cdot \sqrt{3}$

$b = -\frac{15}{7}$

The values of $a$ and $b$ are $5$ and $-\frac{15}{7}$ , respectively.

Pennies have been made with an alloy comprised of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper, but pennies minted before 1982 are 95% copper and 5% zinc. The price of copper has more than quadrupled over the past 10 years.

So a penny produced before 1982 is worth 2.2 cents based on the metal it contains.

On eBay, a lot of 5000 pennies has a face value of $50, but it will sell for $60.

kkurt [141]

Answer:

(-7x + 9)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x^2 - 5x + 18

Product = -126

Sum = -5
Factors (-14, 9)

-7x^2 - 14x + 9x + 18

-7x(x + 2) +9(x + 2)

(-7x + 9)(x + 2)
