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:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
.28 times 50 equals 14
Answer:
x = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = -3x^2 + 2x-17
This is in the form
ax^2 +bx+c
a = -3 b = 2 c = -17
The axis of symmetry is at
x = -b/2a
x = -2/ (2*-3)
x = -2/-6
x = 1/3
Two cheaper books = x
more expensive = 1.5x
so, 2.5x=150
150/2.5=x=60
therefore the more expensive book = 90
