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>

If time is four hours from now, the time left till midnight would be quarter that if it is one hour from now. What time is it no
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The time now is 7 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that now is the time T.

We know that:

"if time is four hours from now, the time left till midnight would be a quarter that if it is one hour from now".

Then:

if we define midnight as 12, and we assume that T is in the pm range.

Then the "time left till midnigth, assuming that the time is four hours from now" will be written as (12 - (T + 4))

With this in mind, we can write the problem as:

12 - (T + 4) = (1/4)*( 12 - (T + 1))

Now we can solve this for T.

12 - T - 4 = (1/4)*(12 - T - 1)

8 - T = (1/4)*(11 - T)

4*(8 - T) = 11 - T

32 - 4*T = 11 - T

32 - 11  = -T + 4*T

21 = 3*T

21/3 = T

7 = T

Then T = 7 pm

The time now is 7 pm

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 4x - 2. The perimeter of the triangle is 95. Find x
adell [148]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

sides of triangle measure: 'x', '4x-2' and '4x-2' since isosceles means both legs are equal

perimeter is the sum of all sides, so set up equation:

95 = 4x - 2 + 4x - 2 + x

95 = 8x - 4 + x

95 = 9x - 4

99 = 9x

x = 11

A tenant rented a store to use as a real estate school at a base rent of $1,500 a month. Additionally, the tenant agreed to pay
allsm [11]

Answer:

3. $600,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a tenant rented a store to use as a real estate school at a base rent of $1,500 a month. Additionally, the tenant agreed to pay 3% of gross annual sales over $200,000.

Let us find base annual rent.

\text{Base annual rent}=\$1500\times 12\\\\ \text{Base annual rent}=\$18,000

Let us find the amount of rent paid as 3% of gross annual sales.

\$30,000-\$18,000=\$12,000

Let us find amount of sales over $200,000 by dividing $12000 by 3% or 0.03.

\frac{\$12,000}{0.03}=\$400,000

Total sales would be $400,000 plus $200,000.

\text{Total sales}=\$400,000+\$200,000\\\\ \text{Total sales}=\$600,000

Therefore, the total sales for that year was $600,000 and 3rd option is the correct choice.
