Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2| x - 3 | + 5 = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

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

| x - 3 | = 6

The absolute value function always returns a positive value but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is

x - 3 = 6 OR -( x - 3) = 6

x - 3 = 6 ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 9

OR

-( x - 3) = 6 ← distribute left side

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

- x = 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 3

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 = 9 → 2|9 - 3| + 5 = 2|6| + 5 = (2 × 6) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 ← True

x = - 3 → 2|- 3 - 3| + 5 = 2| - 6 | + 5 = (2 × 6) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 ← True

Hence x = 9 or x = - 3 are the solutions → a

if gh¢400.00 is deposited at a bank at 10% per annum compounded quarterly, how long will it take the deposit to double it value.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

~ 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

2 = (1 + .1/4)^(4t)

2 = (1.025)^(4t)

Take the log of both sides

log2 = 4t * log1.025

divide both sides by log1.025

log2/log1.025 = 4t

28.07103452593863 = 4t

Divide both sides by 4

7.017758631484657 = t
