2|3x - 4| + 8 = 6 |subtract 8 from both sides
2|3x - 4| = -2 |divide both sides by 2
|3x - 4| = -1 FALS because for any number x: |x| ≥ 0
Answer: No solution ( x ∈ ∅)
The answer is <u>143 miles.</u>
<h3>
EXPLANATION</h3>
The ratio between Dory's miles and Karly's miles is 11:1. This means that we need to <em>divide 156 by 12, </em>which is <u>13.</u>
Because Dory's miles make up 11/12 of the total miles, we need to take 1/12 (which is 13) from the 156 to get the final answer of <u>143 miles.</u>
We know that:
Substituting known values, we have:

When two fractions have the same denominator, you can compare which fraction is greater by just comparing the numerators.
For example, if you have 2/5 and 3/5, the denominators are the same. So you can just look at the numerators. 3 is greater than 5, so 3/5 is greater than 2/5.
The reasoning to this is that the two numbers are divided by the same number (5), so you can compare the original numbers (numerators).
