P needs to be something that is multiplied through 5-2n to equal 5/6-1/3n. Since you see that there is a 5 of somesort in both equations an easy place to start is simply making p=1/6. Once you do that then 5*1/6=5/6 so the first part is okay. Then 2n*1/6=2n/6 which is able to be reduced to n/3.
Based on this it is clear that p should equal 1/6.

Answer: Choice B</h3>
The set notation includes all values from -5 to 0, but the domain only includes the integer values
eg: something like -1.2 is in the second set, but it is not in the set {-5,-4,-3,-2,-1}
==========================================================
Further explanation:
Let's go through the answer choices one by one
- A. This is false because 0 does not come before -5, but instead -5 is listed first. The order -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0 is correct meaning that
is the correct order as well. - B. This is true. A value like x = -1.2 is in the set
since -1.2 is between -5 and 0; but -1.2 is not in the set {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}. So the distinction is that we're either considering integers only or all real numbers in this interval. To ensure that we only look at integers, the student would have to write
. The portion
means "x is in the set of integers". The Z refers to the German word Zahlen, which translates to "numbers". - C. This is false. The student used the correct inequality signs to indicate x is -5 or larger and also 0 or smaller; basically x is between -5 and 0 inclusive of both endpoints. The "or equal to" portions indicate we are keeping the endpoints and not excluding them.
- D. This is false. Writing
would not make any sense. This is because that compound inequality breaks down into
. Try to think of a number that is both smaller than -5 AND also larger than 0. It can't be done. No such number exists.
Answer:
x = - 1, x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2| x + 6 | - 4 = 6 ( add 4 to both sides )
2|x + 6 | = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
| x + 6 | = 5
The absolute value function always gives a positive result, but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
x + 6 = 5 or - (x + 6) = 5
solve both
x + 6 = 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = - 1
or
- (x + 6) = 5 , that is
- x - 6 = 5 ( add 6 to both sides )
- x = 11 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 11
Sounds like an id 10 t problem
I believe the answer is BC, AB, AC
