The two possible answers are w = 3 and w = -1/5
These answers can be obtained through solving to the absolute value symbols.
<span>−2∣5w−7∣+9=−7 ---> subtract 9 from both sides
</span><span>−2∣5w−7∣= -16 ---> divide both sides by -2
</span>∣5w−7∣= 8
Now, because of the absolute value symbols, set the inside equal to 8 and -8 for the two answers.
5w - 7 = 8
5w = 15
w = 3
AND
5w - 7 = -8
5w = -1
w = -1/5
Answer:
x = 14/9
Step-by-step explanation:
70 - 8x = 56 + x
- 8x - x = 56 - 70
- 9x = - 14
- x = - 14/9
x = 14/9
Answer:
15 teachers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
number of children is c
number of teachers is t
=
(rearrange)
t =
x C
When C = 70,
t =
x 70
t = 15 teachers
