Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Say your going to a concert and parking is nine dollars and it cost 7.50 for every person in the car. Use y as the number of people in your car
The values of x are -22 and -2 and there are not extraneous solutions
<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>
The equation is given as:
2|x + 7|= x - 8
Expand the absolute bracket
|2x + 14|= x - 8
Remove the absolute bracket
2x + 14 = x - 8 and 2x + 14 = -x + 8
Evaluate the like terms
x = -22 and 3x = -6
This gives
x = -22 and x = -2
Hence, the values of x are -22 and -2 and there are not extraneous solutions

#SPJ1
8 litres (amount of 20% solution needed) and 7 litres for (amount of 50% solution needed)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let consider ‘x’ for 20% acid solution and (15 – x) for 50% acid solution. And so, the equation would be as below,
20% in x + 50% in (15 – x) = 15 litres of 34%
Convert percentage values, we get
0.20(x) + 0.50 (15 – x) = 15 (0.34)
0.20 x + 7.5 – 0.50 x = 5.1
-0.3 x + 7.5 = 5.1
0.3 x = 7.5 – 5.1
0.3 x = 2.4

Apply ‘x = 8’ value in (15 – x) we get,
15 – 8 = 7 litres
The value of 7 litres for (amount of 50% solution needed)
