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 :)

R/16 + 6 = 7 pLEASE HELP WITHIN A HOUR OR TWO
cestrela7 [59]

Solution:

<u>Simplify the equation and solve for r.</u>

  • r/16 + 6 = 7
  • => r/16 = 7 - 6
  • => r/16 = 1
  • => r = 16

The value of r is 16.

<u>Check:</u>

  • r/16 + 6 = 7
  • => 16/16 + 6 = 7
  • => 1 + 6 = 7
  • => 7 = 7 (Proved correct)

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 648 m/h

Step-by-step explanation:

           

                  \frac{18 cm}{s} \frac{1 m}{100 cm} \frac{3600 s}{1 h}

                  \frac{(18)(1)(3600)}{(1)(100)(1)}

                  \frac{64800}{100}

                          = 648 m/h
