|z - 1|  = 7z - 13
either:
z - 1 = 7z - 13
and in that case:
- 1 + 13 = 7z - z
12 = 6z
z = 12 \div 6 = 2
or:
z - 1 =  - 7z + 13
and in that case
z + 7z = 13 + 1
8z = 14
z = 14 \times 8 = 1.75
So; the answer is: either 2 or 1.75

Given:  |z-1| = 7z - 13

Due to the absolute value function, this equation yields two separate equations:

+(z-1) = 7z - 13, and

-(z-1) = 7z - 13.

Simplifying the first, we get z - 1 = 7z - 13, or

                                               -1 + 13 = 7z - z, or 12 = 6 z.  Then z = 2.

Doing the same to the 2nd equation:   -z + 1 = 7z - 13, or 14 = 8z, or z = 7/4.

We must check both results by subst. into  |z-1| = 7z - 13:

If z = 2, we get 2 - 1 = 14 - 13, or 1 = 1.  Thus, z = 2 is a solution.

If z = 7/4, we get 3/4 = 7(7/4) - 13, or   3/4 = 49/4 - 52.  This is clearly false.

The (single) solution is thus z = 2

If AD=6 and AB=24, find AC
ruslelena [56]
When a perpendicular is dropped from the right-angle (C) to the opposite side AB, the metric relations apply:
BD*BA=a^2 ..........................(1)
AD*AB=b^2...........................(2)
BD*DA=DC^2........................(3)

Given AD=6, AB=24, using metric relation (2) above, we have
b^2=6*24=144
=>
b=sqrt(144)=12

By the way, we conclude that this is a 30-60-90 triangle because b/AB=(1/2)=sin(B) => B=30 degrees.

Answer: b=12
