Answer:
The answer is
Step-by-step explanation:
We must find a solution where
Consider the Left Side:
First, to add fraction multiply each fraction on the left by it corresponding denomiator and we should get
Which equals
Add the fractions
Simplify the right side by multiplying the fraction
Set both fractions equal to each other
Since the denomiator are equal, we must set the numerator equal to each other
Answer: n= 32
Jakes started with 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the initial integer.
Step 1: take the reciprocal.
Reciprocal of n = 1/n
Step 2: double the number obtained in step 1
= 2×1/n = 2/n
Step 3: take the reciprocal of the number obtained in step 2.
Reciprocal of 2/n = n/2
Since he ended up with 16
n/2 = 16
n = 2×16 = 32
<span>|7x-7|+3 = 4x+1 ⇒⇒⇒ add (-3) to both sides
</span>
<span>∴ |7x-7| = 4x - 2
</span>
According to the absolute rule
∴ 7x - 7 = 4x - 2 OR -(7x - 7) = 4x - 2
7x - 4x = 7 - 2 l 7x - 7 = -4x + 2
3x = 5 l 7x + 4x = 2 + 7
x = 5/3 l 11 x = 9 ⇒⇒⇒ x = 9/11
∴ x = 5/3 and 9/11
So, the correct answer is option <span>B. 5/3 and 9/11</span>
