Solve |1 - 4x| &gt; 7 and Solve |5x - 1| &lt; 1<br> PLEASE EXPLAIN!
denis-greek [22]
Since |1-4x|>7 it can also be 1-4x<-7
so you get 1-4x>7 then get the x by its self -4x>7 then you make the x positive. multiply by -1 so you switch the sign 4x<7 divid by 4 and you get x<7/4 now you go on to the other equation 1-4x<-7 you get the x by itself and get -4x<-8 and multiply by -1 to get a positive number so you swith the sign 4x>8 so you didid by 4 and get x>2 so you get an interval notation of (-infinity,7/4) u (2,+infinity)

the |5x-1|<1 interval notation is (-2/5 ,0)

$49 jeans are 20% off, what is the sale price
madam [21]

Answer:

$39.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price will be 20% of $49 subtracted from $49

That’s

20% /100% x $49

0.2 x $49

$9.8

Sale price = $49 - $9.8

= $39.2

The sale price is $39.2
