Which of the following is the value of x in the equation below

x= -4 or x=2
x= -2 or x=3
x =-2 or x= 4
x= -2 or x= 1
Correct Answer : B
we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.
First, add 2 to both sides of equation



The absolute conditions are:
If
, a>0, then u=a or u=-a
In this case a=10, which is greater 0.
The first condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation


Divide both sides by 4


The second condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation


Divide both sides by 4


Then, the value of x is 3 or -2.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
6.98 becomes 698/100
9.2 becomes 92/10
The least common denominator for the denominators of 7, 100 and 10 is 700. Now we can multiply each fraction with 700 as follows:
3/7*700=300
698/100*700=4886
10/7*700=1000
92/10*700=6440
In order from the smallest to largest, we organize the number set as follows:
3/7, 10/7, 6.98, 9.2.
Thus, 9.2 is the greatest of all.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Before finding the greatest number from the data set, the numbers need to be in fraction form.
-0.5=-5/10
-1.5=-15/10
The set of numbers becomes -2/3, -5/10, -15/10, -4/9
Now the least common denominator for 3, 10, and 9 is 90, which will be used to multiplied by the given fractions as follows:
-2/3*90=-60
-5/10*90=-45
-15/10*90=-135
-4/9*90=-40
From the above evaluations, the resulting numbers arranged from the smallest to the largest is -135, -60, -45, -40. Thus, the greatest number from the data set is -40, with a corresponding fraction of -4/9.

Explanation
We are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.
First, we convert 2 ¼ into improper fraction as:

Letting x to be the number of cups of flour, we set up a proportion equation with number of cookies on numerator and number of cups of flour on the denominator becomes:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Dividing both sides by 60, the above equation result to

Thus, the number of cups of flour needed to make 90 cookies is 81/16 cups, which is equal to 5 1/16 cups.
Correct Answer is B

We are asked to find the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program using the information provided on the pie chart.
If we let x represent the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program, we set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator.
Total percent in the pie chart adds to 100%, which equals 1200 students. Then, 21% will represent

We solve the value of x by cross-multiplying the equation above.

Therefore, 252 students will enroll for a radiologic program.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
The number of cups of milk to make a bigger batch, we proceed as follows:
First convert the mixed number 1 2/5 as

Then, we let the unknown number of cups of milk to be x and we set a proportion equation with number cups of floor as numerator and cups of milk as denominator

Find the value of x by cross-products



2 as a fraction is 2/1 which is then used to find the product of the numerator as follows.

Per means division. The above equation becomes

When dividing fractions, we multiply the first fraction with the reciprocal of the second. The reciprocal of 2/9 is 9/2. Thus

The numbers of cups of milk required is 63/5, which when converted to mixed fraction becomes 12 3/5.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
The median of a data set is a number that falls in the middle of the data set. To find the median, the numbers in the data set are arranged from the smallest to the largest. In the given data set, the organized arrangement is:
-5, -1, 0, 3, 9
There are five elements in the data set, and the median falls in the third position from either side. Thus, 0 falls in the third position.
