Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3 - 2 |0.5x + 1.5 | = 2 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- 2 |0.5x + 1.5 | = - 1 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

|0.5x + 1.5 | = 0.5

The absolute value function always gives a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus

0.5x + 1.5 = 0.5 ( subtract 1.5 from both sides )

0.5x = - 1 ( divide both sides by 0.5 )

x = - 2 ← solution Manuela obtained

OR

-(0.5x + 1.5) = 0.5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by - 1

- 0.5x - 1.5 = 0.5 ( add 1.5 to both sides )

- 0.5x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 0.5 )

x = - 4 ← other solution to the equation

guapka [62]

I would choose Plan 2

Divide the number money by the number of square feet.

Plan 2 is $120 cost per square when you divide 288000÷2400=120.

Thats the least expensive for 1 square ft.

A nest if ants initially contains 500 individuals. The population is increasing by 12% each week. How many ants will there be af
allochka39001 [22]
Based on the given values above, here is the solution to find if how many ants there will be after 10 weeks and 20 weeks.
Since the population increases by 12%. we need to get 12% of the population every week.
500 x .12 = 60.
1st week = 560
2nd week = 627.2
3rd week = 702. 46
4th week = 786.76
5th week = 881. 17
6th week = 986.91
7th week= 1,105.34
8th week= 1,237.98
9th week= 1, 386.54
10th week = 1, 552.92
11th week = 1,739.27
12th week = 1,947.98
13th week= 2,181.74
14th week=2, 443.55
15th week = 2,736.76
16th week = 3, 065. 17
17th week = 3,432.99
18th week= 3,844.95
19th week= 4,306.34
20th week = 4,823.10
Therefore, after 10 weeks, there will be 1,553 ants and after 20 weeks, there will be 4,823 ants.
