Afood manufacturer specifies that every family-size box of cereal should have a net weight of 25 ounces, with a tolerance of 1.2 ounces. write an absolute value equation that can be used to find the minimum and maximum weights in ounces of the family-size cereal box

an absolute value equation to determine the minimum and maximum value should be:

| Real net Weight - specified  net weight | = Tolerance

Step-by-step explanation:

an absolute value equation to determine the minimum and maximum value should be:

| Real net Weight - specified  net weight | = Tolerance

therefore we have 2 scenarios:

when  (Real net Weight -Specified  net weight)  >0 and | Specified  net weight - Real net Weight | = Tolerance  → then Real net Weight= Maximum weight

Therefore

| Maximum weight- specified  net weight | = Tolerance

Maximum weight- specified  net weight = Tolerance

Maximum weight = specified  net weight + Tolerance

when  (Real net Weight -Specified  net weight)  <0 and | Specified  net weight - Real net Weight | = Tolerance  → then Real net Weight= Minimum weight

thus

Therefore

| Minimum weight- specified  net weight | = Tolerance

-(Minimum weight- specified  net weight) = Tolerance

-Minimum weight + specified  net weight = Tolerance

Minimum weight = specified  net weight - Tolerance

7x=49

x=7. 35 apples

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
