solve the absolute value equation. check for extraneous solutions: |9x-3|=12

ANSWER: x=5/3, -1. Good luck. Hope this suffices.

Explanation for x=-1: |9x-3|=12. Lets take the absolute value brackets away for a sec. Add 3 to both sides 9x-3+3=-12+3, simplify: 9x=-9, divide both sides by nine:9x/9=-9/9. And that means that x=-1.

Explanation for x=5/3: |9x-3|=12. Add 3. 9x-3+3=12+3. Simplify: 9x=15. Divide both sides by 9. 9x/9=15/9. Simplify: x=5/3

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98

it will cost dollar $540

the living room is 3 which means if we divide 325/3 then we get $108

therefore if 1part of the living room cost $108 and 3 costed $325

then total 5part of the room will cost 5*108 which gives $540
