Step 1: Isolate the absolute value
Step 2: Is the number on the other side of the equation negative?
Step 3: Write two equations without absolute value bars
Step 4: Solve both equations
Y + R + V = 42
but 4 YEARS AGO : (R-4) +(V-4) = Y
Replace Y in the 1st equation by: (R-4) +(V-4)
(R-4) +(V-4) + R + V = 42
2R - 2V - 8 = 42; 2R -2V = 50, or R+V=25
IF R+V =25 AND Y + R +V = 42, then Y + 25 = 42 and Y =17
Answer:
a) 19/15 b) 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
in both the question I reduced the numbers with 5
Answer:
2 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use two separate fractions, one representing the amount of physics majors expected and the amount of seniors expected in physics majors by the university.
Now cross multiply.
x will be removed.
Simplifying this fraction will get you 
, which in percentage form, will be 2 percent.
Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides</u>
2x - 2 - 2x = 4x + 6 - 2x
<em>-2 = 2x + 6</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides</u>
-2 - 6 = 2x + 6 - 6
<em>-8 = 2x</em>
<em />
<u>Step 3: Divide both sides by 2</u>
-8 / 2 = 2x / 2
<em>-4 = x</em>
<em />
Answer: x = -4
