Answer:
{2, 8}
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find x for ...
15 = 4|x -5| +3
12 = 4|x -5| . . . . subtract 3
3 = |x -5| . . . . . . divide by 4
±3 = x -5 . . . . . . show the meaning of absolute value
5 ±3 = x = {2, 8} . . . . . add 5
The values of x for which f(x) = 15 are 2 and 8.
cost of pencil = x = 0.07
and cost of eraser = y = 0.03
Step-by-step explanation:
let cost of pencil = x
and cost of eraser = y
So, we have equations:
Solving both equations to find value of x and y
Let:
Multiply eq(1) with 4 and eq(2) with 3 and subtract
Putting value of x in equation 1:
So, x= 0.07 and y = 0.03
cost of pencil = x = 0.07
and cost of eraser = y = 0.03
