3 + 4abs(x/2 + 3) = 11 Subtract 3
4 abs(x/2 + 3) = 11 - 3
4 abs(x/2 + 3) = 8 Divide by 4
abs(x/2 + 3) = 8/4
abs(x/2 + 3) = 2
Solution 1
x/2 + 3 = 2 Subtract 3
x/2 = 2 - 3
x/2 = - 1 Multiply by 2
x/2 *2 = - 2
x = - 2
Solution 2
x/2 + 3 = - 2
x/2 = - 2 - 3
x/2 = - 5 Multiply by 2
x = -5 * 2
x = -10
Solutions
x = - 2 <<<< answer 1
x = -10 <<<< answer 2
Well, 2/4 is equivalent to 4/8. So you can turn the 2/4 into 4/8 and then add 4/8 plus 3/8.

c: right arrow with filled in dot
d: left arrow with NO filled in dot
X=pounds of coffee bean ($0.20 per pound)
y=pounds of coffee bean ($0.68 per pound )
We can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=120
(0.20x+0.68 y) / (x+y)=0.54 ⇒ (0.2x+0.68y)=0.54(x+y)
We can solve this system by substitution method.
x+y=120 ⇒ y=120-x
0.2x+0.68(120-x)=0.54[x+(120-x)]
0.2x+81.6-0.68x=0.54(120)
-0.48x+81.6=64.8
-0.48x=64.8-81.6
-0.48x=-16.8
x=-16.8/-0.48
x=35
y=120-x=120-35=85
Answer: the coffee mixture has 35 pounds of coffee beans sold to $0.2 a pound, and 85 pounds of coffee beans sold to $0.68 a pound, the solutions is reasonable because the price of a coffee mixture ($0.54 a pound) is greater than $0.2 and smaller than $0.68.
The answer is either C or D hope that helped a little
