3|3 – 5x| - 3 = 18. Find x

Mathematics
1 answer:
AnnyKZ [126]1 year ago
7 0
Answer:

x = -4/5 or x = 2

Explanations:

The given equation is 3|3 - 5x| - 3 = 18

Note that the absolute vale of a, that is |a| can either be a or -a

Therefore | 3 - 5x| can either be (3 - 5x) or -(3 - 5x)

3|3 – 5x| - 3 = 18 can be:

3(3 - 5x) - 3 = 18

3(3 - 5x) = 18 + 3

3(3-5x) = 21

3 - 5x = 21 / 3

3 - 5x = 7

-5x = 7 - 3

-5x = 4

x = -4 / 5

It can also be written as:

-3(3 - 5x) - 3 = 18

-3(3 - 5x) = 18 + 3

-3(3 - 5x) = 21

3 - 5x = -21/3

3 - 5x = -7

- 5x = -7 - 3

-5x = -10

x = -10 / -5

x = 2

Not really understanding this, someone help please :)
Nadya [2.5K]

Rearrange the product

(5.91 * 10^(-3)) * (8.7 * 10^10)

as

(5.91 * 8.7) * (10^(-3) * 10^10)

We have 5.91 * 8.7 = 51.417, and 10^(-3) * 10^10 = 10^(10 - 3) = 10^7, so the original product above reduces to

51.417 * 10^7

We can "add" powers of 10 by moving the decimal place to the left:

51.417 = 5.1417 * 10

so that

51.417 * 10^7 = (5.1417 * 10) * 10^7 = 5.1417 * 10^8

What is 2/5 of a book to 1/2 of an hour as a unit rate?
hjlf

Answer: 4/5 book per hour

Step-by-step explanation:                                                                        in this question, we are to rewrite (2/5)/(1/2) as unit rate.

To write this as a unit rate, what we need to do  is to divide 2/5 by 1/2.

That means 2/5 divided by 1/2

Removing the division and replacing with multiplication will give 2/5 * 2/1 = 4/5 books/hour

Бу – 20 = 2y – 4 <br> Need explanation on how to work this problem
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

y= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so this is inverse operations.

You have to move the 2y over underneath the 6y and subtract them, you should get 4y. Your problem should now look like this. 4y-20=-4

Now you need to more the +20 over underneath the -4 and add them. Your problem should now look like this. 4y= 16

You now divide 4 into 16 which will give you 4

So y= 4

Have a good day!

Somebody help this is algebra
jeyben [28]

Answer:

2 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

If h(x)= 5 then 5= 2x +1

so 5 = 2x + 1

   -1            -1 on both sides

then 2x = 4

        2      2 divide by 2

which x = 2

Hope my answer has helped you!
