Solve the equation. Check for extraneous solutions. Type your answers in the blanks. Show your work. |4x+3| = 9+2x

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

|4x + 3| = 9 + 2x

We see the absolute value so we have to consider 2 cases:

(1)

4x + 3 = -9 - 2x

6x = -12

x = -2

(2)

4x + 3 = 9 + 2x

2x = 6

x = 3

Let's plug in both results.

|4(-2) + 3| = 9 + 2(-2)

|-5| = 9 - 4

5 = 5

Therefore x = -2 is a solution

|4(3) + 3| = 9 + 2(3)

|15| = 9 + 6

15 = 15

Therefore x = 3 is also a solution.

A jeweler is making a triangular pendant. He has two sides of length 23 mm and 31 mm. What are the

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

38.60mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

We are given that the dimension of the triangles are length 23 mm and 31 mm

Let us assume that the triangle is a right angle triangle

Step two:

Applying the Pythagoras theorem we can find the third as

$z^2= x^2+y^2\\\\z^2= 31^2+23^2\\\\z^2= 961+529\\\\z^2= 1490\\\\$

square both sides

z= √ 1490

z= 38.60mm

Hence a possible dimension of the third side is 38.60mm
