Answer:
a) |n -11| = 5
b) n ∈ {6, 16}
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording of the question is ridiculous. We assume it is intended to read, "The distance between two numbers is 5. One of the numbers is 11. What are the possibilities for the other?"
a) The distance between a number (n) and 11 can be written as ...
|n -11|
Since we want that distance to be 5, we can write the equation ...
|n -11| = 5
__
b) The equation resolves to two:
Adding 11 to both sides of both equations gives ...
The two solutions are n=6 and n=16.

<em>Comment on the question statement</em>
Increasingly, we see curriculum materials written in Pidgin English or where the words have a meaning different from that understood by a native English speaker. It appears you are the lucky recipient of such materials, so must do occasional "interpretation". Here, it seems that "two time a number" is intended to mean "two numbers."
Answer: A, C, and D
Step-by-step explanation:
A terminating decimal is a decimal that has an end. In other words, 
is one, but 
is not.
✓ A. 0.032
✗ B. 0.999...
✓ C. 0.525
✓ D. 0.75
Answer: D. n + q = 20
5n + 25q = 300
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the number of nickels that you have.
Let q represent the number of quarters that you have.
Suppose you have 20 coins. It means that
n + q = 20
The total value of the coins is $3. The value of a quarter is $0.25 and the value if a nickel is $0.05. Therefore, the equation would be
0.05n + 0.25q = 3
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 100, it becomes
5n + 25q = 300
The correct option is
D. n + q = 20
5n + 25q = 300
