Answer:
x = - 6 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function always returns a positive value. However, the expression inside can be positive or negative.
Given
| 2x + 4 | - 1 = 7 ( add 1 to both sides )
| 2x + 4 | = 8, thus
2x + 4 = 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
OR
-(2x + 4) = 8
- 2x - 4 = 8 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 2x = 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 6
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
x = 2 → | 4 + 4 | - 1 = | 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
x = - 6 → | - 12 + 4 | - 1 = | - 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
Hence the solutions are x = - 6 or x = 2
Divide the perimeter by 3 to get 8 then use the equation for the area of a triangle (a= BH1/2) and your answer is 32
The answer is Associative
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It may not tell you anything. You have to be careful how you think about the answer to this. An ordered pair is just that: it describes an x and y value and that is really all that it does.
However it may also be used to describe the solution to a system of equations which cross in one place. For example, if you plot
y = x + 1
y = -3x + 2
The ordered pair that gives the point where both equations equal the same thing is (0.25,1.25) The graph is shown below, and the ordered pair marks the solution.
A)= 2/20 or 1/10
B)=16/20 or 4/5
C)=1/5
