If you have |a|=b, solve a=b and a=-b
so
|-4+5x|=16
so solve
-4+5x=16 and -4+5x=-16
add 4 to both sides
5x=20 and 5x=-12
divide both sides by 5
x=4 and x=-12/5
the 2 solutions are x=-12/5 and x=4
Answer: 27 and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = 9 → x = 9 + y
3y = 2x
3y = 2(9 + y)
3y = 18 + 2y
3y - 2y = 18
y = 18
2x = 3(18)
2x = 54
x = 27
x - y = 9
27 - 18 = 9
9 = 9
Answer:
$37.50
