Answer: -2/7
|3x - 2| - 4x = 4
1) (3х - 2) - 4х = 4, if 3x - 2 >= 0
2) -(3x - 2) - 4x = 4, if 3x - 2 < 0
1)
3х - 4х = 4 + 2
-x = 6
x = -6
3х - 2 >= 0
3х >= 2
x >= 2/3 - wrong
2)
-3х + 2 - 4х = 4
-7х = 2
x = -2/7
3x-2<0
3x<2
3(-2/7)<2-right
We want to find the coeficient of the y terms when added together so find all the y terms
+12y and +2y
we add them together
12y+2y=(12+2)y=(14)y=14y
coeficient is 14
the constant is the number that is set already or the number that doesn't have it multiplied by a placeholder exg. 4 is a constnat but 4x is not so find the constants
+5 and +8
we add
5+8=13
the constant is 13
y coeficient=14
constant=14
4/5 of the original amount at the start of the month will remain. The amount at the start of every month will change. Thus:
an = 4/5 (an-1) ; where a1 = 500.
Well you can either think of actually dividing the fraction or reduce to lowest forms which is 1/2. then from 1/2 you can either divide that or just say it is .5.
