Use the expression for y in the second equation.
.. 3x +4(3 -(1/2)x) = 1
.. 3x +12 -2x = 1
.. x +12 = 1
.. x = -11
Answer:
There are 30 students in the class
Step-by-step explanation:
we can write a ratio as:
8:10 as 24:x
Writing this as an equation gives:
8

=
24
x
We can now solve for
x
while keeping the equation balanced:

Answer:
x < -4 ∪ x > 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function is shifted down 3 units. The solution space is values of x where y = |x|-3 is greater than 1. The solution is shown in red in the attachments, and the left and right (dashed) sides of the inequality are shown in blue.

I personally prefer to rewrite the inequality so the comparison is to <em>zero</em>. That is done in the second attachment, which rewrites it to ...
|x| -4 > 0
by subtracting 1 from both sides. It is often easier to read the values of x-intercepts than it is to read the coordinate values where lines cross each other.
I think it would be 0.23 repeating so basically 0.23232323
