Answer:
15 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of weeks = x.
At the end of x weeks,
Jeremy has 120 + 14x,
and Katie has 180 + 10x
We want to know when their amounts are equal.
120 + 14x = 180 + 10x
4x = 60
x = 15
Answer: 15 weeks
When solving an equation with an absolute value term, you make two separate equations ans solve for x:
Equation 1: |4x-3|-5 = 4
1st add 5 to both sides:
|4x-3| = 9
Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:
4x-3 = 9 and 4x - 3 = -9
Solving for x you get X = 3 and x = -1.5
When you replace x with those values in the original equation the statement is true so those are two solutions.
Do the same thing for equation 2:
|2x+3| +8 = 3
Subtract 8 from both sides:
|2x+3| = -5
Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:
2x +3 = -5
2x+3 = 5
Solving for x you get -1 and 4, but when you replace x in the original equation with those values, the statement is false, so there are no solutions.
The answer is:
C. The solutions to equation 1 are x = 3, −1.5, and equation 2 has no solution.

Answer:
Mrs. B's age = y = 38 years
her son's age = x = 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
To Find:
Mrs. B's age = y =?
her son's age = x = ?
Solution:
Let Mrs. B's age be 'y' years
and her son's age be 'x' years
Three years ago Mrs B's will be (y - 3) and her son's age will be (x - 3)
According to the first given condition,
y = 6 + 4x ...............Equation ( 1 )
According to the second given condition,
(y - 3 ) = 7 (x - 3 )..........Equation ( 2 )
equating equation 1 in equation 2 we get
6 + 4x -3 = 7x - 21
7x - 4x = 21 + 3
∴ 
Now substitute x in equation 1 we get
y = 6 + 4×8
y = 6 + 32
∴ y = 38 years
Mrs. B's age = y = 38 years
her son's age = x = 8 years
