<span> |2x − 5| − 2 = 3
</span><span>1) |2x − 5| = 3 +2
2)</span><span> |2x − 5| = 5
3) 2x-5 = 5, or 2x-5= -5
4)2x=10, or 2x=0
5) x = 5 , or x = 0
Check:
</span> |2x − 5| − 2 = 3
|2*5− 5| − 2 = 3 or |2*0 − 5| − 2 = 3
|5|-2=3 or |-5| -2 =3
3=3 (true) or 3=3 (true)
All steps are correct.
Answer:
a = -2
b = 1
c = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
2a + 4b + c = 5 ............(1)
a - 4b = - 6
or
a = 4b - 6 .............(2)
2b + c = 7
or
c = 7 - 2b ...........(3)
substituting 2 and 3 in 1, we get
2(4b - 6 ) + 4b + (7 - 2b) = 5
or
8b - 12 + 4b + 7 - 2b = 5
or
10b - 5 = 5
or
b = 1
substituting b in 2, we get
a = 4(1) - 6
or
a = -2
substituting b in 3, we get
c = 7 - 2(1)
or
c = 5
thus,
a = -2
b = 1
c = 5
Isolate x
So xy - 2 = k
Then
xy = k + 2
x = (k+2)/y
Find 3/5 in a decimal and it 6 to get 0.6 + 6 + 6.6 then convert it back to a fraction and you have c cups and 3/5 cup
