Answer:
x = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3 - 2 |0.5x + 1.5 | = 2 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
- 2 |0.5x + 1.5 | = - 1 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
|0.5x + 1.5 | = 0.5
The absolute value function always gives a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus
0.5x + 1.5 = 0.5 ( subtract 1.5 from both sides )
0.5x = - 1 ( divide both sides by 0.5 )
x = - 2 ← solution Manuela obtained
OR
-(0.5x + 1.5) = 0.5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by - 1
- 0.5x - 1.5 = 0.5 ( add 1.5 to both sides )
- 0.5x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 0.5 )
x = - 4 ← other solution to the equation
divide 187.50 by 12.5 to find hourly rate
187.50/12.50 = 15 dollars per hour
now divide 465 by 15 for number of hours
465/15 = 31 hours
double check by multiplying 31 by 15 ( 31 x 15 = 465)
