Solve : |1/5x - 7 | =4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 55 or x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve Absolute Value.

We know that either 1/5x - 7 = 4 or 1/5x - 7 = -4.

1/5x - 7 = 4

1/5x - 7 + 7 = 4 + 7

1/5x = 11

1/5x (5) = 11 (5)

x = 55 (one possibility)

1/5x - 7 = -4

1/5x - 7 + 7 = -4 + 7

1/5x = 3

1/5x (5) = 3 (5)

x = 15 (second possibility)

What is the proportion
Ipatiy [6.2K]

m = 16
8 6


Cross multiply:
m * 6 = 8 * 16

Simplifying
m * 6 = 8 * 16

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
6m = 8 * 16

Multiply 8 * 16
6m = 128

Solving
6m = 128

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '6'.
m = 21.33333333

Simplifying
m = 21.33333333

Graph the line with: a slope of -5 and y intercept of 4. PLEASE HELP
worty [1.4K]

The y intercept of 4 means the graph crosses the vertical y axis at 4. More specifically this location is (0,4)

Start at (0,4) and move down 5 units and then move to the right 1 unit. You should arrive at (1,-1). The movement rule of "down 5, over to the right 1" is taken exactly from the slope of -5 = -5/1.

After plotting the two points (0,4) and (1,-1), draw a straight line through them both. Extend this line as far as you can in either direction. The graph is now completed.

<h3>In summary, this line goes through (0,4) and (1,-1)</h3>

Side note: The equation of this line is y = -5x+4. It is in slope intercept form.

258/300=0.86

now, to find the percent, you simply convert the decimal:
0.86 represents 86 hundredths (which is the second place after the decimal point)
