Step-by-step explanation:
You should prolly subtract 2 from both sides first.
So you get, -|2/5x + 3| > -1 2/5
- Add three to both sides
- -|2/5x| = -1 2/5
- Do -1 and 2/5 divided by 2/5 to get -3.5, x > -3.5
One of the answers is x > -3.5 but you need to switch the sign to less than and make the other side the opposite.
You see that, switched the sign and made whats on the right side opposite. So now solve for x again but with this new equation. Also, the parentheses are absolute value signs
Subtract 3 from both sides
-|2/5x| < -1 and 3/5
Divide 2/5 from each side to get x < -4
I hope I'm correct, my bad if I'm wrong
Answer: 2 buses and 4 vans would be needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of buses that would be needed.
Let y represent the number of vans that would be needed.
There will be six drivers, and two different types of vehicles. This means that
x + y = 6
142 students are going on a field trip. A bus can hold 51 people while a van can hold 10. This means that
51x + 10y = 142 - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 6 - y into equation 1, it becomes
51(6 - y) + 10y = 142
306 - 51y + 10y = 142
- 51y + 10y = 142 - 306
- 41y = - 164
y = - 164/ - 41
y = 4
x = 6 - y = 6 - 4
x = 2
Its 15/4

Answer:
D. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
So you use the formula with is 
. so you get (1 - -5)/(4-1). this gets you to 6/3 and you get 2
