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

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

Add 10 to both sides of the equation

Next, we apply the absolute rule:
If u=a
, a>0, then u=a or u=-a
In this case a=5, which is greater 0.
The first condition becomes

Solving for x

The second condition becomes

Solving for x


Then, the value of x is -4/3 or 2.

Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
6.25 becomes 625/100
7.4 becomes 74/10
The LCM for the denominators of 8, 100, 7, and 10 is 2800. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.
3/8*2800=1050
625/100*2800=17500
10/7*2800=4000
74/10*2800=20720
The fraction 7.4is the greatest of all.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
The range is a simple measure of statistical dispersion that shows the spread between the highest and lowest values in a data set.
Formula for Range:
Range=MaximumValue−MinimumValue
Example Calculation:
From the given box plot:
Identify the maximum value: 92
- Identify the minimum value: 12
- Subtract the minimum from the maximum: 92−12=80
Thus, the range of this data set is 80.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
the mean of a data set is the total scores divided by the number of tests.
Total test scores =80+68+74+87+96=405
Number of tests =5
Mean test score =405/5=81
The mean test score is 81.
Correct Answer is D
