|x - 3| = -6/-3
Two negatives = a positive so make it |x - 3| = -6/-3
|x - 3| = 2
In order to find the answers we need to break it down into these two problems
x - 3 = 2 and -(x - 3) = 2
For the first one its 5 since 5 - 3 = 2 and 2 + 3 = 5

Remember, for |a|=b, assume and solve a=b and a=-b

so

first get into |a|=b form

-3|x-3|=-6
divide both sides by -3
|x-3|=2
so solve
x-3=2 and x-3=-2
add 3 to both sides
x=5 and x=1

the solutionsa re x=1 and 5

Rashid [163]

Answer:

6 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Nikki :

Initial amount = $1100 ;

Amount spent per week = $35

Mich:

Initial amount = $520

Amount saved per week = $55

Number of weeks they'll both have the same amount :

Let number of weeks = w

For Nikki who is spending :

1100 - 35w - - - (1)

For Mich who is saving :

520 + 55w - - - (2)

Equate (1) and (2)

1100 - 35w = 520 + 55w

1100 - 520 = 55w + 35w

580 = 90w

w = 580 / 90

w = 6.444

Explain why receiving a 15% discount is the same as finding 85% percent of the original cost of an item. Then, explain how the m
Lisa [10]

Answer:

15% discount means you're paying 85% of the marked price because total is 100% and 100-15 = 85%

Let X be the naked price

Paid = marked price - discount

Paid = X - (15/100 × X)

Using distribution property,

Paid = X(1 - 15/100)

Paid = X[(100-15)/100]

Paid = X(85/100)

Which is 85/100 × X

Hence 85% of X
