2|7 − 7x| = 2x + 4

|7 - 7x| = x + 2

7 - 7x = x + 2   or   7 - 7x = -(x + 2)

-8x = -5   or   7 - 7x = -x - 2

x = 5/8   or -6x = -9

x = 5/8   or   x = 9/6

x = 5/8   or   x = 3/2

To check for extraneous solutions, we check both solutions in the original equation.

<em>Check solution 5/8:</em>

2|7 - 7x| = 2x + 4

|7 - 7x| = x + 2

|7 - 7 * 5/8| = 5/8 + 2

|56/8 - 35/8| = 5/8 + 16/8

21/8 = 21/8

<u>Solution x = 5/8 works.</u>

<em>Check solution 3/2:</em>

2|7 - 7x| = 2x + 4

|7 - 7x| = x + 2

|7 - 7 * 3/2| = 3/2 + 2

|14/2 - 21/2| = 3/2 + 4/2

|-7/2| = 7/2

7/2 = 7/2

<u>Solution 3/2 also works.</u>

Answer: x = 5/8 or x = 3/2

Answer:

  p is proportional to q, r, t, and inversely proportional to s

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming k is a "constant of proportionality," the value of p is directly proportional to each of the numerator variables: q, r, t. P is inversely proportional to the denominator variable, s.
