The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.

|x|=\begin{cases}x&\text{for }x\ge0\\-x&\text{for }x

For the equation

-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14

rearrange terms to get

|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4

Now,

• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then

2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4

• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that

-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or

2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4

In the first case,

2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4

2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4

<em>x</em> = 37/8

In the second case,

2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4

2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4

<em>x</em> = 3/8

If m and n can be any integers such that n&lt;4 and 4m - 3n &lt; 20, which of following is the solution set for m?A m &lt;7.25B
soldier1979 [14.2K]

If we multiply the inequality n<4 by 3 we get the following:

(n

Now, on the next inequality we have the following:

\begin{gathered} 4m-3n

By transitive property, we have:

\begin{gathered} 3n

therefore, the solution set for m is m<8

Mark wants to fence 4 rectangular gardens, each with a length of 9 1/4 feet and a width of 4 1/2feet. What is the length of fenc
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

110 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of fencing is four times the perimeter of one garden.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is  

P = 2l + 2w

The total perimeter for all four rectangles is

P = 4× (2l + 2w) = 8l + 8w

Data:

 l = 9¼ ft

w = 4½ ft

Calculation:

P = 8l + 8w = 8×9¼ + 8×4½ = 72⁸/₄ + 32⁸/₂ =(72 + 2) + (32 + 4) = 74 + 36 = 110 ft

The total length of fencing is 110 ft.
