let's keep in mind that, an absolute value expression is in effect a piecewise one, since it has a ± versions of it.


\bf |2x-3|=2x-1\implies \begin{cases}+(2x-3)=2x-1\\-(2x-3)=2x-1\end{cases}\\\\[-0.35em]~\dotfill\\\\+(2x-3)=2x-1\implies 2x-3=2x-1\implies -3 \ne -1\impliedby extraneous\\\\[-0.35em]~\dotfill\\\\-(2x-3)=2x-1\implies 2x-3=-2x+1\implies 4x=4\\\\\\x=\cfrac{4}{4}\implies x=1

. Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 99. (Note: There are two different pairs of consecutive odd
Tom [10]

Answer:

9 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:Let the 2 consecutive odd integers be n and n+2.

n(n + 2) = 99

Solve for n.

n2 + 2n - 99 = 0

(n + 11)(n - 9) = 0 ⇒

Two solutions:

n = -11

n + 2 = -9

and

n = 9

n + 2 = 11

Now there is a square city of unknown size with a gate at the center of each side. There is a tree 20 b from the north gate. Tha
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The length of each side of the city is 250b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = 20 --- tree distance from north gate

b =14 --- movement from south gate

c = 1775 --- movement in west direction from (b)

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we have:

\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ACB --- similar triangles

So, we have the following equivalent ratios

AE:DE = AB:CB

Where:

AE = 20\\ DE = x/2 \\ AB = 20 + x + 14 \\ CB = 1775

Substitute these in the above equation

20:x/2 = 20 + x + 14: 1775

20:x/2 = x + 34: 1775

Express as fraction

\frac{20}{x/2} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

\frac{40}{x} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

Cross multiply

x *(x + 34) = 1775 * 40

Open bracket

x^2 + 34x = 71000

Rewrite as:

x^2 + 34x - 71000 = 0

Expand

x^2 + 284x -250x - 71000 = 0

Factorize

x(x + 284) -250(x + 284)= 0

Factor out x + 284

(x - 250)(x + 284)= 0

Split

x - 250 = 0 \ or\ x + 284= 0

Solve for x

x = 250 \ or\ x =- 284

x can't be negative;

So:

x = 250
