Use the definition of absolute value,

|x| = \begin{cases} x & \text{if } x \ge 0 \\ -x & \text{if } x < 0 \end{cases}

If x - 1 ≥ 0, then |x - 1| = x - 1, and so

|x - 1| = 5x + 2

x - 1 = 5x + 2

4x = -3

x = -3/4

Otherwise, if x - 1 < 0, then |x - 1| = -(x - 1), which means

|x - 1| = 5x + 2

-x + 1 = 5x + 2

6x = -1

x = -1/6

Martin bought a flower vase from a florist. The box in which the vase was packed was shaped like a rectangular prism.
34kurt

Answer:

the answer is C: 1932 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to break down the sections (which is double for each)

there are 6 rectangles but you will only need to calculate for 3

1st rectangle

a = (25) (12)

a = 300 sq. cm

**then multiply by 2 = 600 sq. cm**

2nd rectangle

a = (12) (18)

a = 216 sq. cm

then 216 * 2 = 432 sq. cm

3rd rectangle

a = (25) (18)

a = 450 sq. cm

then 450 * 2 = 900 sq. cm

Total Surface Area

SA = 600 sq. cm + 432 sq. cm + 900 sq. cm

SA = 1932 sq. cm

The difference between two numbers is 40. Twice the first number plus three times the second number
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

x = 44 and y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x - y = 40

2x + 3y = 100

Isolate for x in the first equation:

x = 40 + y

Sub x = 40 + y into the second equation and solve for y:

2(40 + y) + 3y = 100

80 + 2y + 3y = 100

5y = 20

y = 4

Sub y = 4 into the equation for x:

x = 40 + 4

x = 44

Therefore, x = 44 and y = 4
