Solve 4 - 3|x + 1| < -17

Mathematics
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: x > 6, x < -8

Subtract 4 from both sides.

−3∣x+1∣<−17−4

Then simplify -17 - 4 to -21.

−3∣x+1∣<−21

Divide both sides by −3.

|x + 1| > -21/-3

Two negatives make a positive.

|x + 1| > 21/3

simplify 21/3 to 7

Break down the problem into these 2 equations.

x + 1 > 7

-(x + 1) > 7

Solve the 1st equation: x + 1 > 7

x > 6

Solve the 2nd equation: -(x + 1) > 7

x < -8

last collect all solutions

x > 6, x < -8

Boubacar went to the store to buy some walnuts. The price per pound of the walnuts
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Price per pound of the walnuts = $ 6.50

Price of 4 pounds of the walnuts = 4 *6.50 = $ 26

Amount needs to be paid = Price of 4 pounds of walnut - coupon amount

             = 26 - 3.75

              = $ 22.25

Expression:

Cost to buy p pounds of walnuts = p * 6.50 = 6.5p

Cost to buy p pounds of walnuts, assuming at least one pound is purchased =  6.50 + 6.5p

Alfonso runs 10 km at an average speed of x km/h.
puteri [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that t = d/r where t is time, d is distance, and r is rate/speed.

We can come up with two equations with the information given and the equation:

t_1 hr = (10 km)/(x km/hr)

t_2 hr = (12 km)/(x - 1 km/hr)

<em>where t_1 is the time taken to run the 10km the first day and t_2 is the time taken to run the 12km the second day.</em>

We know that 30 minutes is 1/2 of an hour and that t_1 is 30 minutes less than t_2 (as stated in the question). Therefore, we can write:

t_1 = t_2 - 1/2

Substituting the values we derived:

(10 km)/(x km/hr) = (12 km)/(x - 1 km/hr) -1/2

Then we can evaluate by multiplying by 2x(x-1) on both sides:

20(x-1) = 24x - (x)(x-1)

20x - 20 = 24x - x^2 + x

x^2 -5x -20 = 0

And we are done.

I hope this helps! :)
