Hello there!

-3| 2x + 6| = -12
2x + 6 = -12/-3
2x + 6 = 4
Solve absolute value
We know that 2x + 6 = 4 or 2x + 6 = -4
We have two possibilities to solve this.

1)
2x + 6 = 4
2x = 4 - 6
2x = -2
Divide both sides by -2
2x/-2 = -2/-2
x = 1


2) 
2x + 6 = -4
2x = -4 - 6
2x = -10
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = -10/2
x = -5

Answer : X = -1 or X = -5

A+ Guaranteed!

Q + 5/9= 1/6 from big ideas mathbook
Alika [10]
9We have such eqation
Q+ \frac{5}{9} = \frac{1}{6}    /*9   (multiply both sides by 9)
9Q+5=\frac{9}{6}    /-5 both sides
9Q=\frac{9}{6}- 5
9Q=\frac{9}{6}- \frac{5*6}{6}
9Q=\frac{9-30}{6}
9Q=-\frac{21}{6}        /:9 divide both sides by 9
Q=-\frac{21}{6}:9
Q\frac{21}{6*9} =- \frac{21}{54}=[tex] \frac{7}{18} - its the answer

A cell phone tower casts an 80-foot shadow. At the same time, a 6-foot fence post casts a shadow of 4 feet. What is the height o
AnnyKZ [126]
The height of the telephone tower is 120 feet.

The first step to solve this problem is to figure out what fraction of the height of the actual object the shadow is. We can find this by dividing the length of the shadow by the actual height.

4/6 = 2/3, meaning that the shadow is 2/3 of the actual height

Since we know that the shadow is 2/3 of the height, we can multiply by the reciprocal, 3/2, to find the actual height if we know the length of the shadow.

80 · 3/2 = 120, so the height of the telephone tower is 120 feet.
