Lets solve the equation first:
<span> 0.5 – |x – 12| = –0.25
</span>= 1/2 - |x - 12| = -1/4
= 2 - 4<span>|x - 12| = -1
= 4|x - 12| = 3
= |x - 12| = 0.75
positive case, x >= 12
x - 12 = 0.75
x = 12.75
negative case, x < 12
x - 12 = -0.75
x = 11.25
So those are the two solutions.
These apply:
</span>1.) The equation will have no solutions.
2.) A good first step for solving the equation is to subtract 0.5 from both sides of the equation.
<span>3.) A good first step for solving the equation is to split it into a positive case and a negative case.
</span><span>5.) The negative case of this equation is x – 12 = –0.75.</span>
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Of course we can.
Velocity=distance/time
v=d/t
So in this case:
v=(3mi/5)/(3hr/8) that's the equation you need to solve.
v=(3m/5)*(8/3hr)
8/5 mph=(3m/5)*(8/3hr)
1 3/5 mph= (3/5)/(3/8)
So the first statement is correct.
Answer: 5x+4=-54 is the equation with the same value of x as 5/6*x + 2/3=-9
