Solve -6|2x-9|+1=-17 and give the final answers that would make the equations true

1 answer:

6 0

Remember
if |x|=y
assume
x=y and -x=y or
x=y and x=-y

so

-6|2x-9|+1=-17
minus 1 from both sides
-6|2x-9|=-18
divide both sides by -6
|2x-9|=3
assume
2x-9=3 and2x-9=-3
solve

2x-9=3
add 9
2x=12
divide 2
x=6

2x-9=-3
add 9
2x=6
divide 2
x=3

x=3 and/or 6

Detroit received 8 over 5 inches of snow in the morning. The city recorded of an 3 over 5inch of snow in the evening. What was t

xenn [34]

Answer:

11/5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

total snowfall for the day = snowfall in morning + snowfall in evening

= 8 over 5 + 3 over 5 (all in inches)

= 8/5 + 3/5 (all in inches)

Since the denominators are the same (5), we can simply add the numerators up while keeping the denominator

(8/5 + 3/5) inches= (8+3)/5 inches = 11/5 inches = total snowfall for the day

If you're going to use technology (Brainly) to solve this problem, you might find you get a quicker answer using the technology of your graphing calculator.

It is often convenient to cast the problem in the form f(θ) = 0. You can do that by adding 1 to both sides of the equation.

$4\sqrt{2}\cos{(\theta)}+4=0\\ \cos{(\theta)}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0\qquad\mbox{divide by $4\sqrt{2}$}\\ \cos{(\theta)}=\dfrac{-\sqrt{2}}{2}\qquad\mbox{subtract $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$}\\\\ \theta=\{\dfrac{3\pi}{4},\dfrac{5\pi}{4}\}\qquad\mbox{determine the corresponding angles}$
