|x - 12| = 4 please provide an explanation

Mathematics
1 answer:
geniusboy [140]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: x = 16, x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

|a| > 0, there are two solutions

|a| = 0, there is one solution

|a| < 0, there are no solutions

So, in this problem, we have two solutions.

In absolute value, the expression inside can be equal to itself OR its opposite.

Ex: |y| = y, |y| = -y

So, we can write two equations:

x - 12 = 4, x = 16

-x+12 = 4, x = 8

Check: |16 - 12| = |4| = 4

Check: |8 - 12| = |-4| = 4

ohaa [14]

Answer:

x = 23

y = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

70 and  3x+1 are alternate exterior angles and that means they are equal

70 =3x+1

Subtract 1 from each side

69 = 3x

Divide by 3

69/3 =3x/3

23 =x

70 and y are same side exterior angles and that means they are supplementary ( add to 180)

70+y = 180

y = 180-70

y = 110
