Answer:

The answer is (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

By subtracting both number you will be left off with the distance between the numbers.

Edit: answer (C) is wrong because it refers to the absolute values of p and q, the absolute value of a number is equal to how many numbers that number is away from zero.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting one number from the other will igve you the difference between them. However as P and Q are not specific numbers we do not know which is larger. Therefore we must use absolute value to make sure we do not end up with a negative number by subtracting the larger number from the smaller one.

Solve for x. 3x/6 + 2 = 8 x = 3 x = 12 x = 24

Advocard [28]

$\frac{3x}{6} + 2 = 8 \\ \frac{3x}{6} = 8 - 2 \\ \frac{3x}{6} = 6 \\ 3x = 36 \\ x = 36 \div 3 \\ x = 12$
So; the answer is: 12

X, add 6, then times by 3

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

(x+6)*3

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to do this equation simply; and in order for that matter.

So you need to use the brackets so you know what comes first.

Remember BIDMAS or BODMAS

BIDMAS: BODMAS:

Brackets Brackets

Indices Order --- (These mean the same thing)

Divide Divide

Multiply Multiply

Addition Addition

Subtraction Subtraction

As you can see the brackets come first, so you do what is INSIDE the brackets before anything. (x+6)

To finish, you will need to multiply, but as it is an unknown, you don't know what to multiply the 3 by.

So x, add 6, then times by 3 = (x+6) *3
