Answer:

x=6 and -14/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 2:

|3x - 2|-4 = 16

Plus 4: |3x - 2| = 16

So 3x - 2=16 and -3x + 2=16

3x - 2=16: x=6

-3x + 2=16: x=-14/3

Hi there,

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy!

Let's solve the equation

2|3x -2| -4 = 16

The first step here is to add 4 on both sides

2(|3x-2|)-4+4=16+4\\=2(|3x-2|)=20

We're not done yet! So now we need to divide both sides by 2

\frac{2(|3x-2|)}{2} = \frac{20}{2}

=|3x-2|=10

Now we need to solve for the absolute value

We know either 3x - 2 = 10 or 3x-2=-10

Therefore, there are two possibilities here.

<h2>Possibility 1</h2>

3x - 2 = 10 \\3x = 10 + 2\\3x = 12\\x = 12/3\\x = 4

<h2>Possibility 2</h2>

3x - 2 = -10\\3x = -10 + 2 \\3x = -8\\x = -8/3\\

Thus,

The answer is: x = 4 or x = \frac{-8}{3}

Happy to help! I wish you all the best this semester :)

You would plug in the ordered pair into the equation.

1. Put the y value from the ordered pair in the y spot, and the x value in the x spot.

2. add up the x side

Does it equal the y side?

Im a bit confused as the question says “&lt” at least on my end? I’m not sure if that’s just the way it ended up being written or if it means something. Sorry if my answer doesn’t apply :(. But if it does, I hope it helps!

Answer:

44 feet

If it takes the horse 44 feet per second, and it takes the cheetah 88 feet, the difference is 44.

So, the horse must be 44 feet ahead to be safe. Hope it helps!
