<h2>Solving Equations with Absolute Expressions</h2><h3>
Answer:</h3>
<u>No Solutions</u>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Given:

Rewriting the given equation:

We have to realize that the right side of the equation,
, will always be positive no matter what real values of
(because we're taking the absolute value of the expression) and we are equating it to a <em>negative</em> constant number,
. Something that is always positive will never be negative so there's no value for
that satisfies the solution.

Solving by positive of the expression:

Solving by the negative of the expression:

Checking: 

is an extraneous solution.

is an extraneous solution.
Part (a):
We will assume that the total amount is Jan's saving account is "m"
Now, "withdrawal" means that she took money from her account, which means that the amount of money in her account decreased by the amount she withdrew.
Sum of negative integers to show her withdrawals = -25$ - 45$ - 75$
Amount of money remaining in her account = m - 145$
The amount of money Jan withdrew = 25$ + 45$ + 75$ = 145$
Part (b):
We will assume that the total amount is Lola's saving account is "n"
Now, "withdrawal" means that she took money from her account, which means that the amount of money in her account decreased by the amount she withdrew.
Sum of negative integers to show her withdrawals = -35$ - 55$ - 65$
Amount of money remaining in her account = n - 155$
The amount of money Lola withdrew = 35$ + 55$ + 65$ = 155$
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:


Since both equations have
, we can subtract the second equation from the first to try and solve for
:




With this, we can plug the value back into the first equation to solve for
:




Therefore, the solution is 
Answer:
m = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Points: (-2,1) and (2,-5)
Slope is change in y over change in x,
(-5-1)/(2-(-2)) = -6/4 = -3/2
Hope this helps!
For inverse variation, we use the equation y = k/x, again, with k as the constant of proportionality. <span>When one variable increases the other decreases in proportion so that the product is unchanged. Therefore, it would be the last option the correct answer.
y = k / x
2 = k / 4
k = 8</span>
