Answer:1 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
8 1/5 = 41/5
6 4/5 = 34/5
41/5 - 34/5 = 7/5 which is the same as 1 2/5
January . . . $57.85
March . . . . 4 times as much = 4 (57.85) = $231.40
Deposit 78.45 more . . . ($231.40 + 78.45) = <em>$309.85</em> .
Notice that "interest" is never mentioned anywhere in this problem.
In other words, it doesn't matter whether Julie's savings account is
in a bucket in the basement, a mayonnaise jar on the porch, under
her mattress, or in a bank that pays no interest.
Without interest, $309.85 is what she <em><u>does</u></em> have<em><u /></em> in November, which
is about right for savings accounts in banks these days.
What her balance <em><u>should</u></em> be in November is an entirely different subject.
Answer:
The two solutions are 5 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the absolute has two solutions because IxI = a means x = a and x = -a
Let us solve the question using this fact
∵ I2x - 8I + 3 = 5
→ Subtract 3 from both sides
∴ I2x - 8I + 3 - 5 = 5 - 3
∴ I2x - 8I = 2
By using the fact above
→ 1st solution
∵ 2x - 8 = 2
→ Add 8 to both sides
∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8
∴ 2x = 10
→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x
∴ x = 5
→ 2nd solution
∵ 2x - 8 = -2
→ Add 8 to both sides
∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8
∴ 2x = 6
→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x
∴ x = 3
∴ The two solutions are 5 and 3
