Your question answers itself. You solve by graphing.
I like to subtract one side of the equation from the other, so the solutions are where the graph crosses the x-axis (the resulting function value is zero).
It can be useful to find the "turning point" of each absolute value expression (where its value is zero) and graph that and some points on either side.
I assume this is the intersection of two lines, i.e. -1/2y is (-1/2)y. Please tell me if it's really -1/(2y).
(-1/2)y=(1/2)x+5
Multiplying both sides by -2
y = - x - 10
The other equation is
y = 2x + 2
We can equate them to find the meet
y = - x - 10 = 2x + 2
-3x = 12
x = -4
y = 2x + 2 = -6
Check: (-1/2)y=3, (1/2)x+5=3, equal, good
2x+2=2(-4)+2=-6=y, good
Answer: x=-4, y=-6
Answer:
3000 text messages can be sent without breaking the budget.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each month your cell phone company charges $ 50 for your plan plus 3 cents for each text you send, and you have $ 140 budgeted for cell phone expenses for the month, to make a determination about the number of texts you can send each month the following calculation must be performed:
(140 - 50) / 0.03 = X
90 / 0.03 = X
3000 = X
Therefore, 3000 text messages can be sent without breaking the budget.
