X=1
Y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
.....................
F(x) = | 4x - 1 | .....when f(x) = 7
7 = | 4x - 1 |
4x - 1 = 7 -(4x - 1) = 7
4x = 7 + 1 -4x + 1 = 7
4x = 8 -4x = 7 - 1
x = 8/4 -4x = 6
x = 2 x = -6/4
x = - 3/2
solutions are x = -3/2, 2
The bar was x units long.
Your friend took 1/4x
Subtract what your friend took from the original length:
X - 1/4x = 3/4x remaining.
Use x+2y=8
Subtract 2y to make
x=8-2y
Plug this in to the other equation
3(8-2y)+2y=6
Distribute the 3
24-6y+2y=6
Combine like terms
24-4y=6
Solve
18/4=y, 9/2=y
Plug and solve for x
X+2y=8
X+(2*9/2)=8
X+9=8
X=-1
