Manuela solved the equation 3−2|0.5x+1.5|=2 for one solution. Her work is shown below. 3−2|0.5x+1.5|=2

−2|0.5x+1.5|=−1

|0.5x+1.5|=0.5

0.5x+1.5=0.5

0.5x=−1

x=−2

step-by-step explanation:

just plug in each number for x and see which ones work and don't

9 sandwiches per hour

step-by-step explanation:

when we have a rate, we want a 1 in the denominator

27/3 = 9

27 sandwiches/ 3 hours = 9 sandwiches/hour

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
