I tried solving it, and got 3,-1. What did I do wrong? And what's the correct answer? (please explain this in very detailed step

s, because I really don't understand)
The way I solved it:
2=|x| -1. -2=|x|-1
+1. +1. +1. +1
3=|x|. -1=|x|
so my answers were x= 3 and x= -1.
Brainy said that the answer is actually x=3, and x= -3, but I don't understand how, could you please help me with this?​

skelet666 [1.2K]
In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x and the vertical axis represents a variable y, a y-intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the y-axis of the coordinate system.

lana [24]

Answer: 50

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that 1/3 of gym members say they spent 5 hours per week at the gym.

Assuming there are 150 people working out at the gym, the number of people that'll most likely spend 5 hours at the gym this week will be calculated by multiplying 1/3 by 150. This will be:

= 1/3 × 150

= 50 people
