7 0

As you already know, an absolute value expression is a piece-wise in effect.

$\bf 9|9-8x|=2x+3\implies |9-8x|=\cfrac{2x+3}{9}\\\\\\ 
\begin{cases}
+(9-8x)=\cfrac{2x+3}{9}\\\\
-(9-8x)=\cfrac{2x+3}{9}
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
9-8x=\cfrac{2x+3}{9}\implies 81-72x=2x+3\implies 78=74x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{78}{74}=x\implies \cfrac{39}{37}=x\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
-(9-8x)=\cfrac{2x+3}{9}\implies -9+8x=\cfrac{2x+3}{9}
\\\\\\
-81+72x=2x+3\implies 70x=84\implies x=\cfrac{84}{70}\implies x=\cfrac{6}{5}$

Katen [24]

Answer:

she wont have enough money.

Step-by-step explanation:

she is saving money every 2 weeks. 8 divided by 2 is 4, so we'd have 15 x 4 which is 60. then we'd add it to 100, which would be 160, then divide it by 4, which would roughly come down to 40 dollars each, meaning we would not have enough money for 4 tickets
