Answer:

x = - 2, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve

3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

| x - 2 | = 4

The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus

x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 6

OR

- (x - 2) = 4

- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 2

As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions

x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6

If a towns population currently at 50,000 experiences 5% growth every 10 years, what will its population be in 25 years
disa [49]

Answer:

56503

Step-by-step explanation:

this grows exponentialy so at the start it would be 50,000 growing by 5% every ten years. but since there is only 2 ten years in 25 years we must cut the percent in half making 2.5%

Step 1

(50,000×5%)+50,000= 52500

Step 2

(52500×5%)+52500= 55125

step 3

(55125×2.5%) +55125= 56503
