The answer to the question is 7/8
Answer:
1. Pour the mixture through a filter to separate the sand; 2. Evaporate the liquid to separate the salt.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation #1:
|2x - 3| = 17
The first solution is
2x - 3 = 17
2x = 17 + 3 = 20
x = 10
The second solution is
3 - 2x = 17
-2x = 17 - 3 = 14
x = -7
The solutions are x = 10 or x = -7.
Equation #2:
|5x + 3| = 12
The only solution is
5x + 3 = 12
5x = 12 - 3 = 9
x = 9/5
