Question

A company did a quality check on all the packs of nuts it manufactured. Each pack of nuts is targeted to weigh 18.25 oz. A pack must weigh within 0.36 oz of the target weight to be accepted. What is the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured nuts?

x < 17.89 or x > 18.61 because |x - 18.25| > 0.36

x < 17.89 or x > 18.61 because |x - 0.36| + 18.25 > 0

x < 18.25 or x > 18.61 because |x - 18.25| > 0.36

x < 18.25 or x > 18.61 because |x - 0.36| + 18.25 > 0

Answer 1

Solve: -2(2x + 5) - 3 = -3(x - 1)

-16

-10

-13

Answer 2

Solve for x: 2 over 3 (x - 2) = 4x.

negative 2 over 5

negative 5 over 2

2 over 5

Answer 4

That last one...is it...

\[\large\frac{2}{3}(x - 2) = 4x\]

?

Answer 5

Yes It Is Sorry^.^

Answer 6

The table shows the solution to the equation |2x - 3| - 1 = 2:

Step 1 |2x - 3| = 2 + 1
Step 2 |2x - 3| = 3
Step 3 2x - 3 = 3 or 2x + 3 = 3
Step 4 2x = 6 or 2x = 0
Step 5 x = 3 or x = 0


Which is the first incorrect step?

Step 1

Step 3

Step 5

Solution is correct
