Because both positive and negative values have<span> a positive </span>absolute value.
Let n represent the number.
-13×(n -60) = n +(-59)
-13n +780 = n -59
839 = 14n
839/14 = n = 59 13/14
The number is 59 13/14.
_____
Check
The difference between the number and 60 is
59 13/14 -60 = -1/14
-13 times that value is
-13*(-1/14) = 13/14
Compare that to the number plus -59
59 13/14 -59 = 13/14 . . . . . the same value, as required.
Answer:
83
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of robbers be x
If they share 6 rolls each, the tota rolls will be 6x and since they have five remainder, the overall total is then 6x+5
In case they share 7 rolls each, it means they have 7x rolls but here they will be less 8 rolls hence 7x-8 is the overall total.
Equating these two
7x-8=6x+5
Arranging similar terms
7x-6x=8+5
x=13
Therefore, the robbers are 13
The rolla they have will be
6(13)+5=83
Or
7(13)-8=83
Question:
A grocery store has 120 bottles of spring water in stock. The store orders bottles of spring water in cases of 24. The store wants to order enough cases of spring water so it has more than 500 bottles in stock. Which inequality best models this situation?
A. 24x + 120 > 500
B. 24x - 120 > 500
C. 24x + 500 > 120
D. 24(x+120) > 500
Answer:
Option A. 24x + 120 > 500 is the inequality that best models this situation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Number of bottles of spring water in the stock = 120
Each case of the spring water bottles contains 24 bottles
The store wants to order enough cases of spring water so that it has over 500 bottles in stock.
So there are already 120 bottles in stock .
The store will order
24x +120 > 500
where x is the number of spring water bottle cases
