Solve: $|2x - 1| = |3x + 5|$. write your answers as a list of numbers, separated by commas,

1 answer:

8 0

First, disregard the sign for absolute value and solve for x.

2x - 1 = 3x + 5
2x - 3x = 5 + 1
-x = 6
x = -6

Now, you have to interpret the absolute value. The absolute value of x is always the positive version of whatever the number is. Since x = -6, its absolute value is 6. Therefore, the possible value for x is only one, which is 6.

Aubrey and Charlie are driving to a city that is 120 mi from their house. They have already traveled 20 mi, and they are driving

Zarrin [17]

Answer: The function that models the distance they drive is

f(x) = 50x + 20 where x is the time in hours

reasonable domain: 0 ≤ x ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

examples:

95 = 50(1.5) + 20 After driving another hour and a half, they will have driven a total of 95 miles.

120 = 50(2) + 20 This means that after 2 more hours they will reach their destination.

There is a little ambiguity in the question. The function could be written as if they are starting out. f(x) = 50t

20 = 50(.4) At 50 mph it took .4 hours to go 20 miles.

120 = 5(2.4) The whole trip took 2.4 hours.

The first one is 135 per hour if you barely went 90 miles in a hour in a half, and the second one it is 1/3+1/3+1/3 you add 2 more thirds so it means you add 2 forths 1/4/+1/4+1/4=3/4 so you paint 3/4's of the wall
