Lets solve the equation first:
<span> 0.5 – |x – 12| = –0.25
</span>= 1/2 - |x - 12| = -1/4
= 2 - 4<span>|x - 12| = -1
= 4|x - 12| = 3
= |x - 12| = 0.75
positive case, x >= 12
x - 12 = 0.75
x = 12.75
negative case, x < 12
x - 12 = -0.75
x = 11.25
So those are the two solutions.
These apply:
</span>1.) The equation will have no solutions.
2.) A good first step for solving the equation is to subtract 0.5 from both sides of the equation.
<span>3.) A good first step for solving the equation is to split it into a positive case and a negative case.
</span><span>5.) The negative case of this equation is x – 12 = –0.75.</span>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let total no.of classmates who liked the jewellery = x

Here, in the given problem, given she asked her classmates '20'. So, it clearly shows that total number of students/classmates = 20. Also, in that, 50% said like to make jewellery. Now find 'x' as below,

                    x = 50 \% \text { of } 20

What is the Value of x
Ugo [173]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

A segment parallel to a side of a triangle cuts off proportional segments on the sides.

48/6 = (3x + 7)/5

8 = (3x + 7)/5
