started with $x
spent .25x, leaving .75x
spent .60*.75x = .45x
so, he spent a total of .70x
.30x = 9, so he spent (.70/.30)*9 = $21
You want |3x+4| < 0
now, come on -- you know that absolute values are never negative.
So, no solutions
I had a lot of trouble with these two questions can someone help?
