2|7 − 7x| = 2x + 4
|7 - 7x| = x + 2
7 - 7x = x + 2 or 7 - 7x = -(x + 2)
-8x = -5 or 7 - 7x = -x - 2
x = 5/8 or -6x = -9
x = 5/8 or x = 9/6
x = 5/8 or x = 3/2
To check for extraneous solutions, we check both solutions in the original equation.
<em>Check solution 5/8:</em>
2|7 - 7x| = 2x + 4
|7 - 7x| = x + 2
|7 - 7 * 5/8| = 5/8 + 2
|56/8 - 35/8| = 5/8 + 16/8
21/8 = 21/8
<u>Solution x = 5/8 works.</u>
<em>Check solution 3/2:</em>
2|7 - 7x| = 2x + 4
|7 - 7x| = x + 2
|7 - 7 * 3/2| = 3/2 + 2
|14/2 - 21/2| = 3/2 + 4/2
|-7/2| = 7/2
7/2 = 7/2
<u>Solution 3/2 also works.</u>
Answer: x = 5/8 or x = 3/2
The shape has no right angles
Answer:
$65.07
Step-by-step explanation:
We know in this problem they charge a $19.95 fee plus the total number of miles.
0.24 times 188 = 42.12 that´s only for the miles then the rental fee
42.12 + 19.95= 65.07
Answer:
Algebra book weighs 24 oz
Grammar book weighs 15 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
algebra = x and grammar = y
x = 2y-6
5x = 8y
5(2y-6) = 8y
10y - 30 = 8y
2y - 30 = 0
2y = 30
y = 15
x = 2(15)-6
x = 30-6
x = 24
3 buses x 42 = 126... So the final bus will carry 155-126=29 students.... Mental Math.
