Answer:

"Absolute value" is the non-negative value of a number, disregarding whether or not it has a sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Absolute value" is the non-negative value of a number, disregarding whether or not it has a sign. It can be thought of as how far it is away from the number of 0, whether it's to the left or right. Absolute value of a number is written as |x|, where x = any number. Let's say x was -1. |-1| would be 1 because it's 1 away from 0. If x was just 1, then the number would stay the same.

Elena randomly chooses a number from 1 to 10. What is the probability she chooses a number greater than 5?

zepelin [54]

ANSWER

$P(E)=\frac{1}{2}$

EXPLANATION

From the given information, Elena chooses a number from 1 to 10.

The sample space is

S={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

n(S)=10

The numbers greater than 5 are:

E={6,7,8,9,10}

n(E)=5

The probability that, she chooses a number greater than 5 is:

$P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)}$

Substitute the values,

$P(E) = \frac{5}{10}$

$P(E) = \frac{1}{2}$

Which of these equations have no solution? Check all that apply.

dlinn [17]

First one simplifies to 2x + 6 = 2x + 7 which can't be true so this one has No Solution.
Same applies to the second equation ( 5x + 15 = 5x - 15) No solution

also the last one has no solution because it simplifies to 4x + 20 = 4x + 19
