Answer: B. |x-100| = 25
Explanation:
Draw out a number line. Mark 75, 100 and 125 on the number line as points A, B, and C in that order. Don't worry about the spacing.
The value of x represents where the train is. So if we had say x = 85, then it would be at location 85 on the number line. Writing |x-100| is the distance from x to 100. The absolute value ensures the distance is never negative. We want this distance to be 25 because after traveling 25 cm, the switch is turned, and the train goes the other way.
P=2(L+W)
if given one side and the perimiter
(P/2)-L=W
(P/2)-W=L
The first step to determine the percentage of increase is to
compute for the difference of consumer price index in value.
231.11 (consumer price index for 2012) – 211.4 (consumer
price index for 2007) = 19.71 (increase)
To compute for the percentage of increase, you need to
compare the increase to the consumer price index for 2007.
19.71/211.4 = 9.3% increase
9 and 12 are slope-intercept form and 10 and 11 are point-slope form
