Answer:
Absolute value of a number is denoted by two vertical lines enclosing the number or expression. For example, the absolute value of number 5 is written as, |5| = 5. This mean that, distance from 0 is 5 units: Similarly, the absolute value of a negative 5 is denoted as, |-5| = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5x+4(−x−2)=−5x+2(x−1)+12
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5x+4(−x−2)=−5x+2(x−1)+12
5x+(4)(−x)+(4)(−2)=−5x+(2)(x)+(2)(−1)+12 (Distribute)
5x+−4x+−8=−5x+2x+−2+12
(5x+−4x)+(−8)=(−5x+2x)+(−2+12) (Combine Like Terms)
x+−8=−3x+10
x−8=−3x+10
Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.
x−8+3x=−3x+10+3x
4x−8=10
Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.
4x−8+8=10+8
4x=18
Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4=18/4
x=9/2
<h3>Given</h3>
1 (female) pharmacist counting prescriptions at the end of the day
(prescriptions for antibiotics) = (7/4)×(prescriptions for tranquilizers)
33 = (prescriptions for tranquilizers) + (prescriptions for antibiotics)
<h3>Find</h3>
The number of (prescriptions for tranquilizers)
<h3>Solution</h3>
Let <em>x</em> represent the number of <em>prescriptions for tranquilizers</em>. Then the number of prescriptions for antibiotics is (7/4)x, and the total number of prescriptions is
... 33 = x + (7/4)x . . . . . . . . . . put the given information in the given relation
... 33 = (4/4)x + (7/4)x . . . . . . rewrite 1 as 4/4 so we can add to 7/4
... 33 = ((4+7)/4)x = (11/4)x . . . simplify
... 33×(4/11) = (4/11)×(11/4)x . . . multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x
... 12 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
The pharmacist had 12 prescriptions for tranquilizers.
The pharmacist had 33-12 = 21 prescriptions for antibiotics.
There was 1 pharmacist and 33 prescriptions.
#1 m=7/4 the whole equation would be y=7/4x + 3/2
