Ana and Ling are solving |3x + 14| = -6x.Is either of them correct?...............................
Explain your reasoning.
Ana and Ling are solving |3x + 14| = -6x. - 1

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

No! Both are wrong!

Step-by-stepExplanation:

the value of absolute function, (|.|) is always positive

that means -6x always has to be positive

and for -6x to be positive x has to be negative

(since, two negatives make a positive)

therefore, the value of x to the equation will be a negative value and not a positive one.

Ana thinks both positive and negative values of x will be the solution, whereas Ling thinks negative value of x can't be a solution. So, they're both wrong.

ONLYnegativevalue of x will be the solution.

Mrs. Grudman bought a dishwasher at a special sale. The dishwasher regularly sold for$912. No down payment was required. Mrs. Grudman has to pay $160 for the next six
months. What is the average amount she pays in interest each month?

Answers

The average amount she pays in interest each month will be $8.

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

The dishwasher regularly sold for $912.

No down payment was required.

Mrs. Grudman has to pay $160 for the next six months.

Now,

The total amount pay by Mrs. Grudman = 6 x $160

                                                             = $960

Thus, The average amount she pays in interest each month is;

= (960 - 912) / 6

= $8

Thus, The average amount she pays in interest each month will be $8.

Answer:

So let's take a look into the question, "Mrs. Grudman bought a dishwasher at a special sale. The dishwasher regularly sold for

$912. No down payment was required. Mrs. Grudman has to pay $160 for the next six months. What is the average amount she pays in interest each month?"

Step-by-step explanation:

So, " Mrs. Grudman has to pay $160 for the next six months" they want us to multiply, $160

              x

                    6

              _______

                  960

So, 960 is your answer. Hope this helps!

\longrightarrow{\purple{x\:=\: 12.21}} 

\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}

Let the length of the missing side be x.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have

(Hypotenuse)² = (Perpendicular)² + (Base)²

\longrightarrow{\blue{}}  {x}^(2) = (7)² + (10)²

\longrightarrow{\blue{}}{x}^(2) = 49 + 100

\longrightarrow{\blue{}}  {x}^(2) = 149

\longrightarrow{\blue{}}  x = √(149)

\longrightarrow{\blue{}}  x = 12.206

\longrightarrow{\blue{}}  x = 12.21.

Therefore, the length of the missing side x is 12.21.

\huge\bold{To\:verify :}

\longrightarrow{\green{}} (12.21)² = (7)² + (10)²

\longrightarrow{\green{}} 149 = 49 + 100

Which of the following expressions has the greatest value when x=5? show how you arrived at your choice.2x^2+7

x^3-5/3

10x -2/ x-3

Answers

Answer:

2x^2+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=5

2x^2+7

2 ( 5)^2 +7 = 2*25 +7 = 50+7 = 57

(x^3-5)/3

(5^3 -5)/3 = (125-5)/3 = 120/3 = 40

(10x -2)/ (x-3)

(10*5-2)/(5-3) = (50-2)/(2) = 48/2 = 24
