Solve the following absolute value equation. −8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14

Mathematics

Levart [38]2 years ago
4 0

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

PLEASE HELP!!! ITS TWO PARTS
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

$78, $79.20

Step-by-step explanation:

PART A: $60 times 1.3 = $78

you add 30% to 100% to get 130% since it is a mark up, and then you convert to a decimal by going to the left twice then multiplying by original price.

PART B

Since it is a discount you subtract 15 percent from 100, but then add back 5 percent since there is tax applied to get 90%, convert to decimal and multiply by original price to get $88 x .9 = $79.20

You could use simple factoring to solve this. You would factor out a 7 and then have

7(3+4m) = A

l x w = A

w= 3 +4m
