3|1/2x + 5| + 7 = 5

Mathematics
1 answer:
egoroff_w [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<em>x is -34/3 and -26/3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

3|1/2x+5| + 7 = 5

Removing the modulus sign

3(1/2x+5) + 7 = 5

Subtract 7 from both sides

3(1/2x+5) + 7 - 7= 5 - 7

3(1/2x+5) = -2

Open the bracket

3/2 x + 15 = -2

Subtract 15 from both sides

3/2 x + 15-15 = -2 - 15

3/2 x = -17

3x = -2*17

3x  = -34

x = -34/3

<em>Hence the value of x is -34/3</em>

<em>For the negative function:</em>

3(1/2x+5) + 7 = 5

Subtract 7 from both sides

3(-(1/2x+5)) + 7 - 7= 5 - 7

3(-1/2x-5) = -2

Open the bracket

-3/2 x - 15 = -2

Add 15 from both sides

3/2 x + 15-15 = -2 + 15

-3/2 x = 13

-3x = 2 * 13

-3x  =26

x = -26/3

<em>Hence the value of x is -26/3</em>

A) a shopkeeper buys a camera for $300 and sells it at $360. Calculate the percentage profit.
Lilit [14]
A) profit/original price x100 =percentage profit

(Profit: 360-300=$60)

=60/300 x100
=20%

b) two cameras (original price): 300x2= $600
two cameras (price sold): 360x2 = $720

Profit without discount: 720-600= $120

120-100= $20 discount

20/720 x100 =2.78%

While driving from​ Chicago, Brent had a visibility problem due to the fog. After 1 1/2
liq [111]
1) Let x be the original speed that he was driving; 

x mph ---> 1.5 hours 
x+44 mph --> 2.5 hours 

1.5x + 2.5(x+44)=206 
1.5x+2.5x+110=206 
4x=206-110 
4x=96 
x=24 
Therefore, he was travelling at 24 mph in the fog. 

2) Let x be the speed of 1 snail, 
The other snail travels at the speed of x+1 cm/min 

23x+23(x+1)=391 <-- solve for x 
23x+23x+23=391 
46x=368 
x=368/46 
x=8 

Therefore one of the snail travels at 8 cm/min while the other goes at 9 cm/min 

7) Let x be one crew 
Then the other crew would be working at x+0.5 

3.2x+3.2(x0.5)=8 <-- solve for x 
3.2x+1.6x=8 
4.8x=8 
x=8/4.8 
x=1.6666 or 1.7 miles 

Therefore, one of the crew does 1.7 miles per day and the other crew does (0.5*1.7)=0.85 miles

Hope I helped :)

The total charge on 7 particles is −42 units. All the particles have the same charge.
qwelly [4]
If they have the same charge
x+x+x+x+x+x+x=-42
7x=-42
x=-6
so to check our answer
-6-6-6-6-6-6-6=-42
-12-12-12-6=-42
-24-18=-42
-42=-42

Set up the proportion and solve for x. Show ALL work and box your answer
KiRa [710]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Love proportions!

3x+2(x+6) = 35(21)

21(3x+2) = 35(x+6)

63x + 42 = 35x + 210

28x = 168

x = 6
