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>
Answer:
37 dimes and 10 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
let d = # dimes
let n = # nickels
we can set up a system of equations:
n + d = 47
.05n + .10d = 4.2
if we solve the first equation for 'n' we get:
n = 47-d
now we can substitute this in for 'n' in the second equation:
.05(47-d) + .10d = 4.2
2.35 - .05d + .10d = 4.2
2.35 + .05d = 4.2
subtract 2.35 from each side to get:
.05d = 1.85
d = 1.85÷.05
d = 37
if d+n = 47 and d=37 then n = 10
Check:
.05(10) + .1(37) should equal 4.2
.50 + 3.7 = 4.2 [It Checks Out]
