You can model this with the equation 4x+3=15 since it is a number (x) times 4 with 3 added and equals 15.
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x=12
Divide both sides by 4
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = |x - 2| - 1
Given equation is in the form of y=|x-h|+k
Where (h,k) is the vertex
h = 2 and k =-1
So (2, -1) is the vertex for the given function
To find x intercepts we plug in 0 for y
we will get two values for x because of absolute function
0 = |x-2| -1
add 1 on both sides
|x-2| =1
x-2 =1 and x-2 =-1
x= 3 and x= 1
So x intercepts are (1,0) and (3,0)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a ) The worth of Jean-Claude's gnome after 1 year
= 80000 x 1.02
= £81600
b ) common ratio of geometric progression
= 81600 / 80000
= 1.02
c ) worth after 10 years
= 80000 x 1.02¹⁰
= 80000 x 1.21899
= £97519.55
d )
120000 = 80000 x
1.5 = 
ln1.5 = k ln 1.02
k = ln 1.5 / ln 1.02
= .4054 / .0198
= 20.47 years .
