well, you already know an absolute value expression has a ± siblings, so let's proceed without much fuss.


\bf |2x-5|=4\implies  \begin{cases} +(2x-5)=4\implies 2x=9\implies x=\cfrac{9}{2}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ -(2x-5)=4\implies 2x-5=-4\\[1em] 2x=1\implies x=\cfrac{1}{2} \end{cases}

A 120-inch strip of metal 12 inches wide is to be made into a small open trough by bending up two sides on the long side, at rig
mezya [45]

Answer:

x= 3 inch should be turned up on each side

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of trough be x.

Width of trough be 12 - 2x.

and length of trough = 120 inch

Volume of trough, V = L×W×H = 120 × (12-2x) × x = 120x(12 - 2x)

For maximum volume, we find V' = 0

i.e 1440 -480x = 0

or  x = \frac{1440}{480}

or  x= 3

Hence x= 3 inch should be turned up on each side

mariah owed her grandfather $2.25 but was only able to pay him back 1.50 , how much does mariah currently owe her grandfather
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

0.75 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

You take...

$2.25 and subtract $1.50 to get 0.75 cents

In-depth...

Start off with taking a dollar away...

2.25 - 1.00 = 1.25

Then take off 0.50 cents...

We know that 0.50 cents are two 0.25 cents

So, we take off one 0.25 cent

1.25 - 25 = 1.00

Then the next 0.25 cents

*Remember: twenty-five (.25), fifty (.50), seventy-five (.75), a dollar (1.00)

<--- it is just adding 25 each time

If we subtract 0.25 cents from a dollar we get...

0.75 cents

Eddie took out a 14-year loan for $72,000 at an APR of 4.7%, compounded monthly, while Lee took out a 14-year loan for $92,000 a
marishachu [46]
**Eddie: $72000/(14yr*12mo)=428.6$/mo+428.6$*(4.7%)/100%
Eddie pays 428.6$/mo+20.14$/mo. If he pays off his loan 6 years earlier he would save: $20.14*6yr*12mo= $1450.08
**Lee: $92000/(14yr*12mo)=547.62$/mo+547.62$*(4.7%)/100%
Lee pays 547.62$/mo+25.74$/mo. If he pays off his loan 6 years earlier he would save: $25.74*6yr*12mo=$1853.28

So its A. <span>Lee would save more, since he has $20,000 more in principal.</span>
