Answer:
x = -
, x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function always gives a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
- 3x + 16 = 18 or -(- 3x + 16) = 18
Solving
- 3x + 16 = 18 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
- 3x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = - 
or
-(- 3x + 16) = 18
3x - 16 = 18 ( add 16 to both sides )
3x = 34 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
| - 3(-
) + 16 | = | 2 + 16 | = | 18 | = 18 ← True
| - 3(
) + 16 | = | - 34 + 16 | = | - 18 | = 18 ← True
Thus x = -
and x =
are the solutions
The answer is 2x(2x²+x+1).
When we subtract polynomials we combine like terms:
(9x³+2x²-5x+4)-(5x³-7x+4)
9x³-5x³=4x³
2x²- 0 = 2x²
-5x--7x=-5x+7x=2x
4-4=0
This gives us
4x³+2x²+2x
Each of these is divisible by 2, and each has an x, so we factor those out:
2x( )
4x³/2x = 2x²:
2x(2x² )
2x²/2x=x:
2x(2x²+x )
2x/2x = 1:
2x(2x²+x+1)
Answer:
$415.63
Step-by-step explanation:
it would have been 393.75, but he worked 5 hours overtime and got paid time and a half for it, meaning his normal pay plus half of it. (only for overtime tho).
so first calculate his normal pay:
40 × 8.75 = 350
then add overtime to it
8.75 × 5 = 43.75
43.75 × 1.5 = 65.625
65.625 + 350 = 415.625
round that and its 415.63!
