To solve
if you have |a|=b, solve a=b and a=-b
|4x+12|=16
solve
4x+12=16 and 4x+12=-16
minus 12 both sides
4x=4 and 4x=-28
divide both sides by 4
x=1 and x=-7
Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is:
2 & 1/4 <u>OR</u> 2.25 cups fills the container!
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1 & 1/2 (aka 3/2) fills 2/3 of the container, then:
we know that <em>half</em> of 3/2s fills 1/3 of the container
To find half of 3/2, we multiply 3/2 by the <em><u>inverse</u></em> of 2, which is 1/2.
3/2÷2
3/2×1/2 = 3/4 ths
Now that we know 3/4ths fills 1/3 of the container, we add that to 1& 1/2.
3/4+ 1&1/2 = 2 & 1/4
Check your work!
3/4 × 3 should equal 2&1/4 if we are correct
3/4 × 3/1 = 9/4.
Simplify!
9/4 = 2&1/4
That tells us that <u>we</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>correct</u><u>!</u>
Hope this helps!
The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the units produced in a month
It costs ABC electronics company $2.50 per unit to produce a part used in a popular brand of desktop computers.
Cost per unit = $ 2.50
The company has monthly operating expenses of $350 for utilities and $3300 for salaries
We have to write the linear equation
The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses in the form of:
y = mx + b
Cost per unit = $ 2.50
Monthly Expenses = $ 350 for utilities and $ 3300 for salaries
Let "y" be the total monthly expenses per month
Then,
Total expenses = Cost per unit(number of units) + Monthly Expenses

Thus the linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650
Answer:
so at (0,20) she spent all the money on (20) orange juice and 0 coffee
then at (15,0) she spent all the money on (15) coffee and 0 orange juice

Answer:
x = 1/18
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3x = 12
multiply both sides by 3x
2/3x(3x) = 12(3x)
2 = 36x
x = 1/18
