Answer:
answer: b) x = 3, x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
3|2x - 2| + 6 = 18.
divid by 3 :
|2x - 2| + 2 = 6
add -2 : |2x - 2| = 4
2x-2=4 or 2x-2=-4
2x=6 or 2x=-2
x=3 or x=-1
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
14 = 31.7 - 3x
-17.7 = -3x <---- I subtracted 31.7 from both sides
5.9 = x <---- I divided both sides by -3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L = Lucy, C = Carol and A = Arita , x = Total amount of marbles
Lucy shares 1/3 with Carol and keeps 1/4 for herself.
This means that Carol has 1/3 of the total amount of marbles, Lucy has 1/4 of the total amount of marbles.
C = 1/3x
L = 1/4x
We are also told that Carol has 7 more marbles than Lucy
C = L + 7
Since C = 1/3x and L = 1/4x you can sub these into the above equation and you get:
1/3x = 1/4x + 7
Subtract 1/4x from both sides
1/3x - 1/4x = 7
1/12x = 7
Multiply both sides by 12 to find x.
x = 7 times 12 = 84 (Total amount of marbles = 84)
Amrita gets the remaining number of marbles.
A = x - C - L
A = 84 - 1/3 (84) - 1/4 (84)
A = 35
