How to find the solution of |a-4|=3a-6

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago
6 0
For
|a|=b, solve for
a=b and a=-b

so

|a-4|=3a-6
solve
a-4=3a-6 and a-4=-(3a-6)

first one
a-4=3a-6
minus a from both sides
-4=2a-6
add 6 to both sides
2=2a
divide by 2
1=a

other

a-4=-(3a-6)
a-4=-3a+6
add 3a both sides
4a-4=6
add 4 to both sides
4a=10
divide by 4
a=10/4
a=5/2


a=5/2 and 1

We use the fact that x2+y2=1  This is the equation of the unit circle.
We know that x=-4/5, so plug this in and solve for y
x2+y2=1 <span>(−4/5)^2+y2=1</span> 16/25+y2=1 y2=1−16/25 y2=9/25 <span>y=−square root of 9/ 25</span>
