Well the answer is A) about 25
Answer:
x<6/5, x>14/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Steps
$5\left|x-2\right|+4>8$
$\mathrm{Subtract\:}4\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$
$5\left|x-2\right|+4-4>8-4$
$\mathrm{Simplify}$
$5\left|x-2\right|>4$
$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5$
$\frac{5\left|x-2\right|}{5}>\frac{4}{5}$
$\mathrm{Simplify}$
$\left|x-2\right|>\frac{4}{5}$
$\mathrm{Apply\:absolute\:rule}:\quad\mathrm{If}\:|u|\:>\:a,\:a>0\:\mathrm{then}\:u\:<\:-a\:\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:u\:>\:a$
$x-2<-\frac{4}{5}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:x-2>\frac{4}{5}$
Show Steps
$x-2<-\frac{4}{5}\quad:\quad x<\frac{6}{5}$
Show Steps
$x-2>\frac{4}{5}\quad:\quad x>\frac{14}{5}$
$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:intervals}$
$x<\frac{6}{5}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:x>\frac{14}{5}$
Cut 25 with 5
5x3 = 15
15 = 15
Let x = cost of the dishwasher.
The amounts the children are paying are:
Mark =20% = 1/5, so 1/5x
Sorin = 75
Raymond = 1/4x
Stephanie = 75
Kristin = 1/3x
Add them together:
x = 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x + 75 + 75
x - ( 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x ) = 150
Rewrite fractions with common denominator:
x - ( 12/60x + 15/60x + 20/60x ) = 150
60/60x - 47/60x = 150
13/60x = 150
x = 150/1 • 60/13
x = 9000/13
x = 692.31
The total cost of the dishwasher is $692.31
Now calculate the amount each child pays:
Mark = 1/5 x = 692.31/ 5 = $138.46
Sorin = $75.00
Raymond = 1/4 x = 692.31 / 4 = $173.08
Stephanie = $75.00
Kristin = 1/3 x = 692.31 / 3 = $230.77
