Answer: x = 9, 5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
4 | x - 7 | + 2 | x - 7 | = 12
6 | x - 7 | = 12 <em>added like terms</em>
| x - 7 | = 2 <em>divided both sides by 6</em>
x - 7 = 2 or x - 7 = -2 <em>removed absolute value sign</em>
x = 9 or x = 5 <em>added 7 to both sides of both equations</em>
30-5d ( where d stands for amount of days, and 5 is the amount of moeay paid per day)
Answer:
day 540
Step-by-step explanation:
He increases his number of situps by 2 each day meaning on day 1 he'd do 2 extra, on day 2 he'd do 4 extra, on day he'd do 6 extra etc. We can show this by saying +2x where x is the day he is on. Then since he started with 20 we have to add 20 so it would be 20+2x. We want to know what day it is when he does 1100 situps so we can set our equation equal to 1100 and solve for X which is the day it would be.
20+2x=1100
2x=1080
I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
x=540
