Which of the following expressions is equal to
-5 for some value of x?
A) |x - 6| + 2
B) |x - 2|-6
C) |x+2|+6
D) |x + 6|-2

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Choice B)  |x-2| - 6

===========================================================

Explanation:

Recall that for y = a| x-h | + k, the vertex is (h,k).

Since all of the answer choices have a > 0, this means all of the vertexes are the lowest point for each absolute value graph.

Consequently it tells us the lowest possible y value.

For choice A, the smallest y output possible is y = 2For choice B, it would be y = -6For choice C, y = 6 is the lowestAnd choice D says y = -2 is the lowest y value

Choices A, C and D indicate that getting y = -5 is impossible. For instance, if y = 2 is the smallest, then there's no way to get y = -5. I recommend making a number line.

The only thing left is choice B. If we plug in y = -5 then we get...

y = |x-2| - 6

-5 = |x-2| - 6

-5+6 = |x-2|

|x-2| = 1

x-2 = 1 or x-2 = -1

x = 1+2 or x = -1+2

x = 3 or x = 1

Plugging either of those x values into y = |x-2| - 6 leads to y = -5

You could try solving something like -5 = |x-6| + 2 for x, but you'll find that it has no solutions.

As another alternative, you can graph each answer choice. Then see which one intersects the horizontal line y = -5. You should see that only y = |x-2| - 6 does so.

All angles in a triangle add up to 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up equation

(x + 1)° + (10x - 7)° + (8x - 4)° = 180°

Step 2: Solve for x

Combine like terms:                         19x - 10 = 180Isolate x term:                                   19x = 190Isolate x:                                            x = 10

Jason has 34 strawberry scones and 85 raspberry scones.He wanted to make as many identical bags of scones as possible.Each bag should have an equal number of strawberry scones and an equal number of raspberry scones.What is the greatest number of bags Jason can fill?

Answers

Answer: 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told Jason has 34 strawberry scones and 85 raspberry scones and that he wanted to make as many identical bags of scones as possible and that each bag should have an equal number of strawberry scones and an equal number of raspberry scones.

To calculate greatest number of bags Jason can fill, we find the factor of 34 and 85 and choose the highest that's common to both.

Factor of 34 = 1, 2 , 17, and 34

Factor of 85 = 1, 5, 17, and 85.

Highest common factor = 17

The answer is 17

47.9 is what percent of 152?
A)3.2%
B)31.5%
C)0.32%
D)317.3%

Answers

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 152 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=152

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=47.9

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=152(1).

x%=47.9(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100%/x%   = 152/47.9

x= 31.5
