Which absolute value statement describes 9 degrees below zero?
a) |-9| = 9
b) -|9| = -9
c) -|-9| = 9
d) |-9| = -9

Option C is correct.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A statement .

To find : Which absolute value statement describes 9 degrees below zero.

Solution : We know that  the values Inside the modulus is always positive whether it is negative or positive .

We need to find 9 degrees below zero.

⇒ - | -9 | = 9.

⇒ - 9 =9

Therefore , Option C is correct.  

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
