Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Modulus functions.
Since here, the value of h and k are zero,hence
the value of the function f(x) = 3|x| is 3
====> answer is 3
Let x be equal to Jim's travel time
Let x + 2 be equal to Joan's travel time
distance = speed*travel time
6(x + 2) + 8x = 33
6x + 12 + 8x = 33
14x = 21
x = 21/14 = 3.5
3.5 hrs is the hours that Jim have been running until he met Joan.
3/4 times 3/4 is the same as 3/4 squared or (3/4)^2
T shirt would be $3.60
The hat is $90
