|3x|=9, solve absolute value equation

1 answer:

4 0

|3x|=9

3x=9 -3x=9
X=9/3 x=9/-3
x=3 x=-3

Whenever you have an absolute value sign you have to find both the positive and the negative because they didnt signs into the equation but sometimes a question will ask for strictly the positive value or the negative value but if its not stated, find both.

Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify points

Point (0, 2)

Point (3, -3)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle m = \frac{2 + 3}{0 - 3}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle m = \frac{-5}{3}$

Elsa tries to solve the following equation, and determines there is no solution. Is she correct? Explain.

Vlad [161]

Elsa's answer is incorrect since there is a solution of the given equation. In the given logarithmic problem, we need to simplify the problem by transposing log2(3x+5) in the opposite side. The equation will now be log2x-log2(3x+5)=4. Using properties of logarithm, we further simplify the problem into a new form log (2x/6x+10)=4. Then transform the equation into base form 10^4=(2x/6x+10) and proceed in solving for x value which is equal to 1.667.
