You purchase two bottles of sunscreen and a hat. The hat costs $6.50. You pay a total of $16. 50. How much does one bottle of sunscreen cost?
One bottle of sunscreen cost $5.
4 + 6(7 - x) = 4
x = 7
|-x + 2| - 9 = 6
x = -13, 17
7|2x - 6| + 4 = 32
x = 5, 1
Solve for x:
y = -4x + 9
x = (y - 9)/-4
19 = 15x - 4(3x - 1)
x = 5

|x - 28| = 8
An Algebra 1 class can have 20-36 students.
-4|5x - 12| + 8 = -4
x = 5, 9/5
9 = 4x + 5xy
x = 9/(4 + 5y)
6(y - 7) = 3(4 - y)
