Solve this absolute value equation and show all work.
vitfil [10]
I was confused at first until I realized that you'd shared not one, not two, but three questions in one post.  would you please post just one question at a time to avoid this.

I'll focus on your second question only:  Solve <span>3 + |2x - 4| = 15.

Subtr. 3 from both sides.  Result:  |2x - 4| = 12

Divide all terms by 2, to reduce:    |x - 2| = 6

Case 1:  x-2 is already +, so we don't need |    |:

                       x - 2 = 6    =>   x = 8 (first answer)

Case 2:  x-2 is negative, so |2x-4| = -(2x-4) = 6

             Then   -2x + 8 = 6.  Subtr. 8 from both sides:   -2x = -2

               Div both sides by -2:  x = 1 (second answer)

Be sure to check these results by subst. them into the original equation.

Please post your other questions separately.  Thanks and good luck!

X-y=6<br> 2x-3z=16<br> 2y+z=4<br><br> Solve the systems of equations.
Neko [114]

Answer:

Given System of equation:

x-y =6                                  .....,[1]

2x-3z = 16                           ......[2]  

2y+z = 4                              .......[3]

Rewrite the equation [1] as

y = x - 6                                .......[4]

Substitute the value of [4] in [3], we get

2(x-6)+z = 4

Using distributive property on LHS ( i.e,  a \cdot (b+c) =a \cdot b+ b \cdot c )

then, we have

2x - 12 +z =4

Add 12 to both sides of an equation:

2x-12+z+12=4+12

Simplify:

2x +z = 16                         .......[5]

On substituting equation [2] in [5] we get;

2x+z=2x -3z

or

z = -3z

Add 3z both sides of an equation:

z+3z = -3z+3z

4z = 0

Simplify:

z = 0

Substitute the value of z = 0 in [2] to solve for x;

2x-3(0) = 16

or

2x = 16

Divide by 2 both sides of an equation:

\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{16}{2}

Simplify:

x= 8

Substitute the value of x =8 in equation [4] to solve for y;

y = 8-6 = 2

or

y = 2

Therefore, the solution for the given system of equation is;  x = 8 , y = 2 and z =0
