!z!=a→z=a or z=-a; z=4x+3, a=9+2x
!4x+3!=9+2x
1) 4x+3=9+2x
Solving for x:
4x+3-3-2x=9+2x-3-2x
2x=6
2x/2=6/2
x=3
Checking for extraneous solution:
!4x+3!=9+2x
x=3→!4(3)+3!=9+2(3)
!12+3!=9+6
!15!=15
15=15 Ok, then x=3 is not a extraneous solution
2) 4x+3=-(9+2x)
Solving for x:
4x+3=-9-2x
4x+3-3+2x=-9-2x-3+2x
6x=-12
6x/6=-12/6
x=-2
Checking for extraneous solution:
!4x+3!=9+2x
x=-2→!4(-2)+3!=9+2(-2)
!-8+3!=9-4
!-5!=5
5=5 Ok, then x=-2 is not a extraneous solution
Answer:
x = -2 or 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 15 cent stamps
y = 20 cent stamps
I will be using these equations
x + y = 16
0.15x + 0.20y = 3
x = 16 - y
0.15(16 - y) + 0.20y = 3
2.40 - 0.15y + 0.20y = 3
-0.15y + 0.20y = 3 - 2.40
0.05y = 0.60
y = 0.60/0.05
y = 12.......there were 12 twenty cent stamps
x + y = 16
x + 12 = 16
x = 16 - 12
x = 4.....there were 4 fifteen cent stamps
no change is received
Answer:to inspire the workers of the world to join the communists
Step-by-step explanation:
The context clues from the passage helps to explain the overall theme of it.
Let the total number of workers be x
Workers earning minimum wages=24
24=15% of x
Therefore,x*15/100=24
Taking 100 to RHS,x*15=24*100
x=2400/15
=160
Z=180-107
Z=73
Y= 360-(98+89+73)
Y=100
