Answer: x = 9, 5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
4 | x - 7 | + 2 | x - 7 | = 12
6 | x - 7 | = 12 <em>added like terms</em>
| x - 7 | = 2 <em>divided both sides by 6</em>
x - 7 = 2 or x - 7 = -2 <em>removed absolute value sign</em>
x = 9 or x = 5 <em>added 7 to both sides of both equations</em>
Well, each one takes two minutes, regardless of how many brothers there are. If it takes 2 minutes per paper, then the answer is simply 147*2. Which is 297 minutes. Even if one of them was delivering papers, the answer would be the same. These extra numbers are put in there to confuse you. Dont forget that, be careful what you read.
60x - 12 = 14x^2 + 14x
Subtract 60x & Combine
-12 = 14x^2+14x-60x
-12= 14x^2-46x
Add 12
0= 14x^2-46x-14
Answer:
(2, - 9 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 2 is the output when - 9 is input to f(x)
Then reversing the procedure, that is the inverse gives an output of - 9 for an input of 2.
(- 9, 2) is a point on the graph of f(x), then
(2, - 9) is a point on the graph o the inverse function 
(x)
We observe that 14 is 4 more than twice 5.
The scooter's rate is 14 mph.
The bicycle's rate is 5 mph.
_____
time = distance/rate
14/(2b +4) = 5/b . . . . . . let b represent the bicycle's speed in mi/h
14b = 10b +20 . . . . . . . .cross multiply
4b = 20 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10b
b = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4. Same answer as above.
