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
Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are
Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.
Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then
Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,
Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.
