The first step for absolute value equations is to isolate the expression contained within the absolute value bars:
3|2x+4|-1 = 11
3|2x+4| = 12
|2x+4| = 4
so |2x+4| is 4 units away from 0 on a number line, but we don't know in which direction -- negative or positive? you'll have two answers.
2x+4 = 4
AND
2x+4 = -4
solve both of those two step equations and you'll get
x = 0
AND
x = -4
so 0 and -4 are your solutions.
Answer:
x=y[base side of isosceles triangle]
x²+y²=19²
x=√{19²/2)}
x=13.44
y=13.44
154 yd ²
the formula is (b • h) / 2 = A
so plug it in (14 • 22) / 2 = 154
Let x, represent the number of minutes and y represents the number of gallons of water in the tub, then the ordered pairs (2, 30) and (5, 12) satisfies the equation.
Therefore the equation is given by: (y - 30)/(x - 2) = (12 - 30)/(5 - 2)
(y - 30)/(x - 2) = -18/3 x = -6
y - 30 = -6(x - 2) = -6x + 12
y = -6x + 42
Required equation is y + 6x = 42.
Recall that
Dividing both sides by cosh²(x) gives
Also, recall the identity
Then
