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
Answer:
4 and -18
Step-by-step explanation:
The month in which Company B's payment will first exceed Company A's payment is C) Month 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Company A offers $6,000 for the first month and increases the salary each month by $5,000.
Company B offers $700 for the first month but doubles the payments each month.
We need to determine which month company B's payment is greater than company A's payment.
Step 2:
According to the table, at month 6 company A pays $31,000 while company B pays $22,400.
However after this month, in the seventh-month company A pays $36,000 while company B pays $44,800, which is higher than company A's salary.
So The month in which Company B's payment will first exceed Company A's payment is C) Month 7.
Solution:
4/11 = 0.36
3/14 = 0.21
He still needs to play 0.15 of an hour or 3/20 of an hour.
Given facts - Amount he has to play, and the amount he played.
Question - For how long does he need to practice to meet the required time.
Hidden question - There is nothing hidden
Operations used - divisions (not necessary), subtractions and conversion (only if used division).
Number sentence - 4/11 - 3/14 = x
Answer - 3/10 of an hour.
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
