| 4x - 3| - 5 = 4
| 4x - 3| = 9
4x - 3 = 9 -(4x - 3) = 9
4x = 12 -4x + 3 = 9
x = 3 -4x = 6
x = -6/4 or -1.5
solution to equation 1 : x = 3 and x = -1.5
|2x + 3| + 8 = 3
| 2x + 3| = - 5....no solution because an absolute value cannot equal a negative number
6 times $0.97 plus $2.64 minus 20 equals $11.54 remaining on the gift card.
100=P(1+0.05)^10
P=100/(1.05)^10
P=61.39
