Mary's car can go 24 miles on one gallon of gasoline. However , her gas mileage can vary by 2 miles per gallon depending on where she drives . Write an absolute value equation that you can use to find the minimum and maximum gas mileage.

| x -24 |=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mary's car can go 24 miles on one gallon of gasoline.

her gas mileage can vary by 2 miles per gallon depending on where she drives .

i.e. either 2 miles added or subtracted in the  gas mileage.

i.e. -2< Gas milegae -24 <2

⇒  | Gas milegae -24 |=2

Let x represents the gas mileage.

Then,  | x -24 |=2 is the required absolute value equation that you can use to find the minimum and maximum gas mileage.

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
