How many solutions does this problem have? | x - 7 | + 3 = - 15

Kali spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money her parents let her clean the gutters for $9. What is her

Ber [7]

So to find the answer to this, you have to consider that $\frac{1}{2} x + 9 = 13$ - half because half the pocket money (x) was spend on clothes, then plus 9 because that's how much extra she gained and 13 because that was the result of all the changes.

To solve this, first subtract 9 from both side, which leaves you with $\frac{1}{2} x = 4$ and $\frac{1}{2} x$ is the same as $\frac{1x}{2}$ , so to solve this, multiply both sides of the equation by two, resulting in $x = 8$ . SO from this we can conclude that the weekly allowance is $8

An internet start-up predicts its revenue by a straight-line method with a slope of $7000 per month. In its 6 th month it had re

Margarita [4]

Given that the method of revenue calculation is straight line method, the equation modeling this will be given by:
y=mx+c
where:
m=slope
x=time
c=initial value.
from our question:
slope,m=$7000
time=T
y(x)=R(t)
hence the formula after the sixth month will be:
R(t)=7000T+45000
