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 :)

Which of the following is correct about environmental policy?a. The national forests are protected from the exploitive ""dual us
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Environmental regulation has led to dramatic improvements in air and water quality.

Step-by-step explanation:

- The national forests are protected from the exploitive ""dual use policy.

The dual use policy on any idea, technology, breakthrough etc. means such concept can be used for its intended purpose and for military use.

Natural forests are not excluded from this dual use policy & plenty forest exploiters hide under this policy to literally exploit natural forests.

- The Environmental Protection Agency was elevated to cabinet status in 1998 by President Clinton and the Republican Congress

This is not true as the EPA is still not a Cabinet department, but the Administrator is normally given cabinet rank.

- Environmental regulation has led to dramatic improvements in air and water quality.

Regulations have led plenty industries at the forefront of pollution to sit up and fix up. Strict laws and hefty fines have discouraged various water and air pollution means since those regulations came into place. This is the only correct statement about environmental policy amongst the options.

- Policymakers always give more consideration to environmental protection than to economic development when the two conflict.

This is true sometimes, but 'always'!? No, policymakers do not always give more consideration to environmental protection than to economic development when the two conflict.

1. First step: To get a term of x by itself, add 5 to both sides

Second step: This will become 3x<24

Third step: To separate 3x, divide everything by 3: 3x÷3 < 24÷3

Step four: x < 8

2. First subtract both sides by 12: - 2x + 12 - 12 < - 4 - 12

Second: This becomes - 2x < -16

Third: Divide by -2 to get x by itself - 2x ÷ - 2 > -16 ÷ - 2 Note: If you divide by a negative number, the inequality sign switches. This is a really important step that most students forget.

Fourth: x>8

Note: Try plugging in values when you are done if you are uncertain you have the right answer.
