20. Your friend says the absolute value equation |2x + 9 + 7 = 3 has two solutions
because the constant on the right side of the equation is positive. Is your friend
correct? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

This is an absolute value problem. In mathematics, absolute value is simply defined as the distance of a number from zero on the number line, irrespective of the direction on either side of zero.

In the absolute value given which is; |2x + 9| = -4, we can see that there is an absolute value when the right hand side is negative and not when it is only positive.

Thus, the friend is not correct.

We are given the equation;

|2x + 9| + 7 = 3

Now when dealing with absolute values, it means that the solution is either positive or negative.

For example;

|x| = 5 means that x = +5 or -5

Thus in this question, let us first of all simplify the equation to get;

|2x + 9| = 3 - 7

|2x + 9| = -4

From |2x + 9| = -4, we can see that there is an absolute value when the right hand side is negative and not when it is only positive.

Thus, the friend is not correct.

IF ONE THIRD OF THE SCHOOL STUDENTS LIKE MATHEMATICS AND 400 STUDENTS DO NOT LIKE MATHEMATICS , THEN HOW MANY STUDENTS DOES THE SCHOOL HAVE ?
A. 600 B. 800
C. 200 D. 1000

Answers

Answer:

There are 600 students in this school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the total population of the school.

Then (1/3)p represents the number of students who like math.  Subtracting this (1/3)p from p gives an expression representing those who do not like math:  

p - (1/3)p = (2/3)p

400 students do not like math, so (2/3)p = 400.

Solve this for p by multiplying both sides by (3/2):

(3/2)(2/3)p = (3/2)(400), which simplifies to p = 600.

There are 600 students in this school.

Point C is on line segment BD
. Given BD=5x,BC=4x, and CD=4, determine the numerical length of BD.

Answers

Answer:

BD measures 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Point C is on the line segment BD, where:

[tex]BD = 5x, BC = 4x \text{ and } CD = 4[/tex]

And we want to determine the numerical length of BD.

Since C is somewhere on BD, BD is the sum of BC and CD:

[tex]\displaystyle BD = BC + CD[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex](5x) = (4x) + (4)[/tex]

Solve for x. Subtract:

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

Hence, the value of x is 4.

BD is given by 5x. Therefore:

[tex]BD = 5(4) = 20\text{ units}[/tex]

In conclusion, BD measures 20 units.

plz help me with this answer

Answers

Answer:

128 : 192 : 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

A : B = 2 : 3

That is B = 1.5A

Then in fractional form

[tex]\frac{B}{C}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] , so

[tex]\frac{1.5A}{C}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

4C = 7.5A ( divide both sides by 4 )

C = 1.875A = 1.875 × 2 = 3.75

The ratios of A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 3.75

Sum the parts of the ratio , 2 + 3 + 3.75 = 8.75

Divide the quantity by 8.75 to find the value of one part of the ratio

560 ÷ 8.75 = 64 , then

2 parts = 2 × 64 = 128

3 parts = 3 × 64 = 192

3.75 parts = 3.75 × 64 = 240

Then A : B : C = 128 : 192 : 240

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to 8x + 2y = 4 and goes through (0,7)​

Answers

Answer:

y = -4x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope of the first equation

8x + 2y = 4

Subtract both sides by 8x

8x + 2y = 4

-8x         -8x

2y = -8x + 4

Then divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable, y

2y/2 = (-8x + 4)/2

y = -4x + 4

This means the slope is -4, so our other equation will need to have the slope of -4 to be parallel

y = -4x + ?

Wait, the equation also needs to be a line where it goes through (0,7)

Luckily, that just seems to be the y-intercept, so our work is cut out for us.

Here is our equation

y = -4x + 7

You can plug in the numbers to check

7 = -4(0) +7

7 = 0 + 7

7 = 7
