Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These exercises are about calculating the magnitude of quantities, and for this we use the absolute value. The absolute value or modulus of x, defined as |x|, of a number x is value of x regardless to its sign. This means we will have |x| = x if x is positive, and |x| = −x if x is negative, so our result will be always positive.

Jeffrey’s debt is then |$5|=$5

Solve: x=4+(4x-4)1/2

Damm [24]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 4 + (4x-4) ^ (1/2)

First, we rewrite the expression:

x = 4 + (4x-4) ^ (1/2)

x = 2 (2+ (x-1) ^ (1/2))

x = 4 + 2 (x-1) ^ (1/2)

From here we get a solution for x = 10

To check it we substitute x = 10 in the expression:

10 = 4 + 2 (10-1) ^ (1/2)

10 = 4 + 2 (9) ^ (1/2)

10 = 4 + 2 (3)

10 = 4 + 6

10 = 10

Answer:

The solution is:

x = 10

ok so if you have 3 and 1/4 pizza and want to subtract 3/4 out of it,and get 3x more slices then you had from a friend after sub

Answer:

You have 2 and 1/2 pizzas and your friend has 5/6 of a pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 3 1/4 pizzas. If you get rid of 3/4 of a pizza, you will end up with 2 2/4 pizzas.

To make it easier, you can just change the values into improper fractions: 3 1/4 = 13/4

13/4 - 3/4 = 10/4

10/4 = 2 2/4 pizzas

(2 2/4 = 2 1/2)

Anyways! You now have 2 and a half pizzas. You have 3 times the amount of pizza that your friend has. In other words, your friend has 1/3 the amount of pizza that you have. You can solve for this in two ways, whichever way you solve it is up to you.

You can solve this problem by dividing the amount of food you have by 3: $\frac{2\frac{1}{2} }{3}$ which equals 0.8333... (the 3 is repeating). But you can just keep your final answer in fraction form if you want to: $\frac{2.5}{3} = \frac{5}{6}$
You can solve this problem by multiplying 1/3 to the amount of food you have: $\frac{1}{3} * 2 \frac{2}{4}\\=\frac{10}{12}\\ =\frac{5}{6}$
