4|3x - 1| + 1 = 8
4|3x - 1| = 8 - 1
4|3x - 1| = 7
|3x - 1| = 7/4
Now lets think, we have 3x - 1 in module, so either its 7/4 or -7/4, we will have 7/4 at the end because of it, so we may have 2 solutions in this case:
3x - 1 = 7/4
and
3x - 1 = -7/4
So let's see:
3x - 1 = 7/4
3x = 7/4 + 1
3x = 11/4
x = 11/12
3x - 1 = -7/4
3x = -7/4 + 1
3x = -3/4
x = -1/4
So we have two possible answers, x = 11/2 and x = -1/4
First we have to see the formula of profit, which is

And it is given that profit should be atleast $150, that is

Let Ritax dollars per cake, so for 15 cakes, she charge 15x .
And she epent 30 dollars for 15 cakes.
So we will get

Adding 30 to both sides

Correct option is the second option .
Answer:
you should get math w ay it's good
We are given the following information
Investment = $5200
Annual interest rate = 4.2% = 0.042
Final amount = $16,500
Number of years = 27.7 years
Number of compoudings = quartely = 4
The student uses the following model

The general formula for compound interest is given by

As you can see, the number of compoundings is incorrect (3 vs 4)
The interest rate is also incorrect.
Let us substitute the given values into the above formula

Therefore, the final amount is approximately $16,543.5
