The answer to the question is d
2.16 x 10 to the power of -4
Lets plug in the answer choices and see which one works
A. x = -6
| -6 | < 3
6 < 3
False, so A is not the answer
B. x = -5
| -5 | < 3
5 < 3
False, so B isn't the answer
C. x = -1
| -1 | < 3
1 < 3
True, so C is the answer.
But lets just check D to make sure C is the answer.
D. x = 2
| 2 | < 3
2 < 3
False, so D isn't the answer either.
C is your answer :)
Answer:
The square is the next step
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we want to let X equal the amount of points that team A scored. Now we want to express the amount of points that team B scored in terms of X. If team A scored 7 more points than team B then team B scored X-7 points. We know that together they scored 163 points so we can set up this equation: x + x - 7 = 163 2x - 7 = 163 2x = 155 X = 78 Team A scored 78 points
