Step-by-step explanation:
Y = |x² - 3x + 1|
y = x - 1
|x² - 3x + 1| = x - 1
|x² - 3x + 1| = ±1(x - 1)
|x² - 3x + 1| = 1(x - 1) or |x² - 3x + 1| = -1(x - 1)
|x² - 3x + 1| = 1(x) - 1(1) or |x² - 3x + 1| = -1(x) + 1(1)
|x² - 3x + 1| = x - 1 or |x² - 3x + 1| = -x + 1
x² - 3x + 1 = x - 1 or x² - 3x + 1 = -x + 1
- x - x + x + x
x² - 4x + 1 = -1 or x² - 2x + 1 = 1
+ 1 + 1 - 1 - 1
x² - 4x + 1 = 0 or x² - 2x + 0 = 0
x = -(-4) ± √((-4)² - 4(1)(1)) or x = -(-2) ± √((-2)² - 4(1)(0))
2(1) 2(1)
x = 4 ± √(16 - 4) or x = 2 ± √(4 - 0)
2 2
x = 4 ± √(12) or x = 2 ± √(4)
2 2
x = 4 ± 2√(3) or x = 2 ± 2
2 2
x = 2 ± √(3) or x = 1 ± 1
x = 2 + √(3) or x = 2 - √(3) or x = 1 + 1 or x = 1 - 1
x = 2 or x = 0
y = x - 1 or y = x - 1 or y = x - 1 or y = x - 1
y = (2 + √(3)) - 1 or y = (2 - √(3)) - 1 or y = 2 - 1 or y = 0 - 1
y = 2 - 1 + √(3) or y = 2 - 1 - √(3) or y = 1 or y = -1
y = 1 + √(3) or y = 1 - √(3) (x, y) = (2, 1) or (x, y) = (0, -1)
(x, y) = (2 ± √(3), 1 ± √(3))
The solution (0, -1) can be made by one function (y = x - 1) while the solution (2 ± √(3), 1 ± √(3)) can be made by another function (y = |x² - 3x + 1|). So the solution (2, 1) can be made by both functions, making the two solutions equal.

Answer:28.6
I started by seeing how many 2.4 can go into 68.64. I found that it is pretty easy to find that if you multiply the 2.4 by ten you get 24 so we do that twice and have 48. We then subtract 48 from the 68.64 which leaves us with 20.64. If we multiply 2.4 by 5 we get 12 so once again subtract 12 from that 20.64 and now we are left with 8.64. So now we need to figure out how many more 2.4 are left well it is more than three because three gives us 7.2 so let’s subtract that from it now we are left with 1.44. Now we need to find out what times 2.4 gives us 1.44. Well it would be .6. So now if we add up everything we get the answer of 28.6. Sorry if this very complicated
Hi there!
Question 1:
For this, we are taking away 1/4 yards of spring from 7/8 yards. This is essentially just subtracting 1/4 from 7/8. This then gives us the equation:
Now, to subtract these, we want to make it so the denominators are the same, or the numbers on the lower half are the same. (One way to explain why this is true is: 
). Now, to make it so the denominators are the same, we can multiply the second fraction, 1/4, by 2/2 as 2/2 is essentially 1, and multiplying by 1 will get the same result, just with a denominator switched in this case. Doing this, we get:
Now, subtracting the numerators, we get:
yards of string will remain.
Question 2:
For this, we are combining these two thicknesses, and thus we add 1/4 to 7/12. This gives us the equation:
Now, we again want to make it so the denominators are the same. (Here's a similar proof but for addition this time: 
). Now, to make the denominators the same, we can multiply the first fraction, 1/4, by 3/3 (also equivalent to 1). Doing this, we get:
, which is equivalent to (dividing both the top and the bottom by 2) 
inches.
Hope this helps!
