25 minutes (0:25) added to 7:15.
7:15 + 0:25 = 7:40
Also expressible as 15+25
He arrived at 7:40AM.
It would be your first answer because since the MN is a positive you have to subtract it to move it to P and you solved for Q
The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.
For the equation
-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14
rearrange terms to get
|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4
Now,
• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that
-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
In the first case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4
<em>x</em> = 37/8
In the second case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4
<em>x</em> = 3/8
Answer:
m = 7.1
Step-by-step explanation:
3 (m -5) + 8 = 7 -1/2 (4m - 11)
So, what I did first was distribute the values in the parenthesis to get,
3m - 15 + 8 = 7 -2m -5.5
Now that we have the parenthesis taken care of we can do the simpler math,
3m - 23 = 7 -2m - 5.5
I just added the 15 and 8, so now I move the -5.5 to the opposite side by adding.
3m - 23 = 7 -2m -5.5
<u> +5.5 +5.5</u>
3m - 28.5 = 7 - 2m
Here we can do the same with the -2m.
3m - 28.5 = 7 - 2m
<u>+2m +2m</u>
5m - 28.5 = 7
To get rid of the -28.5 I added it to the 7 getting an answer of,
5m - 28.5 = 7
<u> + 28.5 +28.5</u>
5m = 35.5
Finally, divide 5m and 35.5 both by 5.
5m/5 = m
35.5/5 = 7.1
Answer: m=7.1
Sorry it's really long, but I hope this helps! Have a great day!
