Since this is an absolute value equation, it will have two answers. For the first answer, take away the absolute value bars and solve 3x + 1 = 2. Subtract 1 from both sides to get 3x = 1 and divide each side by 3 to get x = 1/3. Now onto the second solution. This time, take away the absolute value bars and make the other side of the equation, the 2, negative, to get 3x + 1 = -2. Now solve this by subtracting 1 from each side to get 3x = -3 and divide each side to get the other answer which is x = -1. The answer is x = -1 or 1/3, hope this helps!
11. It is not the multiple of any numbers smaller than it
The answer would be 360 square inches.
Answer:
He made a math error
Step-by-step explanation:
6 ounces of pistachios cost $7.50
take 7.50 / 6=1.25 per ounce ( not .80 per ounce)
Then 1.26 * 16 = 20.00 for 16 ounces
