1) 2(2x-4) + 5 - 10x = 8 - 3x + 2
by simplifying and rearranging terms, we get,
4x-10x+3x = 8+2-5+4
thus, -3x = 9
therefore, x= -3
2) 2/5x - 1/10 = -x/2 + 2
multiplying throughout by 10x, we get,
4 - x = -5 x^2 + 20x
by rearranging,
5x^2 - 21x + 4 = 0
solving this quadratic equation, we get,
x = 4 or x = 1/5
3) |2x-25| = 52
to remove mod, square both sides. so we get,
(2x - 25)^2 = 52^2
4x^2-100x+625 = 2704
thus, 4x^2 -100x - 2079= 0
solving this quadratic equation,
x= 38.5 or x= -13.5
4) -|1-x| - 5 = -20
rearranging,
-|1-x| = -20 + 5
to remove mod, square both sides. so we get,
(1-x)^2 = -15^2
1- 2x + x^2 = 225
rearranging,
x^2 - 2x - 224=0
solving this quadratic equation, we get,
x=16 or x=-14
5) |2x-6|+3 ≤ 21
|2x-6| ≤ 21-3
|2x-6| ≤ 18
to remove mod, square both sides. so we get,
(2x-6)^2 ≤ 324
4x^2 - 24x + 36 ≤ 18 ...................... ................. ............ (eqn 1)
now to solve the inequality, lets first solve the quadratic equation as
4x^2 - 24x + 36= 18
therefore, 4x^2 - 24x + 18=0
we get solution as,
x= 5.12 or x= 0.878
Now between 0.878and 5.12, the function will either be
always greater than 18, or
always less than 18.
to check for our condition of less than 18, let's pick a value in-between and substitute in "eqn 1" above.
say x=1
so,
4x^2 - 24x + 36 = 4 -24 + 36 = 16 < 18
so solution of x lies in between x= 0.878 and x= 5.12

1) [ 3/5 (x-12) > x - 24 ] => 3x-36>5x-a hundred and twenty => eighty four>2x =>forty two>x 2) 6[ 5y - (3y - 1)] > 4 (3y - 7) => 6[2y+1]>12y-28 =>12y+6>12y-28 for all values of y this inequality keep real.
