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

two runners start 30kilometer apart and run toward each other. they meet after 3hours. One Runner runs 2 kilometers per hour fas
belka [17]

Let the slower runners speed be X kilometers per hour.

Then the faster runners speed would be X+2 kilometers per hour.


The formula for distance is Speed times time.

The distance is given as 30 kilometers and time is given as 3 hours.


Since there are two runners you need to add the both of them together.

The equation becomes 30 = 3x + 3(x+2)

Now solve for x:

30 = 3x + 3(x+2)

Simplify:

30 = 3x + 3x +6

30 = 6x + 6

Subtract 6 from each side:

24 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 24/6

x = 4


The slower runner ran at 4 kilometers per hour.

The faster runner ran at 4+2 = 6 kilometers per hour.
