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: 4.3478 or 100/23
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the y values equal to each other since they are the same unknown (x). You end up with 100=23x, solve for x. Move the 23 over to the other side by using division. x=100/23. If you need it in decimal form, 100÷23=4.347826087
Answer:
Brand A is the better buy
Step-by-step explanation:
bag Which is the better buy?
Step one
Brand A: $5 for 80 pounds of sand
Let us find the unit cost
Unit cost =5/80
=$0.0625 per pound
Brand B: $14 for 175 pound
The unit cost is
=14/175
=$0.08 per pound
Given:
A data set has a median of 12, an upper quartile of 15, a lower quartile of 10, a minimum of 4, and a maximum of 20.
To find:
The correct statement for the box plot.
Solution:
Lower quartile is 10 and upper quartile is 15, so the box will go from 10 to 15.
Median of the data set is 12, so a line dividing the box will be at 12.
Minimum value is 4 and lower quartile is 10, so the left whisker will go from 4 to 10.
Upper quartile is 15 and maximum value is 20, so the right whisker will go from 15 to 20.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer: Choice C)
We start at 0 and move 1.4 units to the right. Then we move another 2.3 units to the right to land on 3.7
Notice how 1.4 - (-2.3) = 1.4 + 2.3 = 3.7
