4|3x - 1| + 1 = 8
4|3x - 1| = 8 - 1
4|3x - 1| = 7
|3x - 1| = 7/4
Now lets think, we have 3x - 1 in module, so either its 7/4 or -7/4, we will have 7/4 at the end because of it, so we may have 2 solutions in this case:
3x - 1 = 7/4
and
3x - 1 = -7/4
So let's see:
3x - 1 = 7/4
3x = 7/4 + 1
3x = 11/4
x = 11/12
3x - 1 = -7/4
3x = -7/4 + 1
3x = -3/4
x = -1/4
So we have two possible answers, x = 11/2 and x = -1/4
1/8 of 32 is 4 so if Ryan is 4 then Brandon is 2
so Ryan = 4 and Brandon = 2
Answer:
16/45; 4/45; 1125
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you know that 4/9 and 1/5 are used, make them common denominators. So 4/9 would turn into 20/45 and 1/5 would be 9/45. It results in 29/45, but that is the amount spent, so you would subtract 45-29/45, resulting in 16/45. For B, you know that she spent 3/4 of the savings, so you know that 1/4 is not being spent. So use 1/4 multiplied by 16/45 from part A to get 4/45. For C, you know that 4/45 is $100, so I multiplied 45x100 to get 4500 and then divided by 4 to get 4500/4.
To write a number in scientific notation put the decimal after the first digit and drop the zeros and to find the exponent count the number of places from the decimal to the end of the number to express 3,500 use 3.5 x 10 ^ 3 or 3.5E03
