A is closest to 0

Answer:

The number further left on a number line is the smaller number. For positive numbers, the number closest to zero is smaller. For negative numbers, the number closest to zero is larger. If a is less than b, and they are both positive, then a is closer to 0 than b. The opposite of a is also closer to zero than the opposite of b, so the opposite of a must be larger than the opposite of b.

denis-greek [22]

solution:

Lets start with the most amount that could have been sold.......using guess and check, we can figure out that 290 salads could have been sold, while 8 cartons of milk would have been sold.

The least amount of salads that could have been sold were none.

so,

you have  0<s<290

at least none were sold, and at most 290 were sold

but I do believe you are missing part of the question

Joanna, the line manager at Smedley Electronics, works 14 hours a week more than her line workers and gets paid $6.50 more per h
chubhunter [2.5K]
Given:
Joanna :
works 14 hrs a week more than her line workers.
gets paid 6.50 more per hour than her line workers.

Line workers: h = hours per week ; d = dollars per hour.

Line worker = Dollar per hour * number of hours.
Joanna = (Dollar per hour + 6.50)(number of hours + 14 hours)

Line worker:
$576 = d * 36 hours
$576/36 = d
$16 = d    hourly rate of line worker.

Joanna:
$16 + 6.50 = $22.50 hourly rate
36hrs + 14hrs = 50 hours per week.

Weekly pay of Joanna: $22.50 * 50 = $1,125

jillian is trying to save water, so she reduces the size of her square grass lawn by 8 feet on each side. the area of the smalle
8_murik_8 [283]
We can solve this equation by using the Square Root Method.
First, take the square root of each side of the equation:
(x-8)^2 = 144 becomes x-8 = 12
Then add 8 to both sides.
x=20

The original lawn was d. 20 feet by 20 feet.

Solve 4/x-4=x/x-4-4/3 for x and determine if the solution is extraneous or not
4vir4ik [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 4 (extraneous solution)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

\frac { 4 } { x - 4 } = \frac { x } { x - 4 } - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 } { x - 4 } - \frac { x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 - x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ 3 ( 4 - x ) = - 4 ( x - 4 ) \\ 1 2 - 3 x = - 4 x + 1 6 \\ 4 x - 3 x = 1 6 - 1 2 \\ x = 4 \\

This solution is extraneous. Reason being that even if it can be solved algebraically, it is still not a valid solution because if we substitute back x=4, we will get two fractions with zero denominator which would be undefined.
