|3x+12|=18

Solve Absolute Value.

|3x+12|=18

3x+12=18 or 3x+12=−18

3x+12=18(Possibility 1)

3x+12−12=18−12(Subtract 12 from both sides)

3x=6

3x3=63(Divide both sides by 3)

x=2

3x+12=−18(Possibility 2)

3x+12−12=−18−12(Subtract 12 from both sides)

3x=−30

3x3=−303(Divide both sides by 3)

x=−10

The answer is:

x=2 or x=−10

HELPPPPPPPPP i have the most trouble with math what’s the answer??
densk [106]

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

\frac {\sqrt {120}} {\sqrt {30}}

We know that:120 = 30 * 4 = 30 * 2 ^ 2

By definition of power properties we have to:

\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

Rewriting the given expression we have:

\frac {\sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 30}} {\sqrt {30}} =\\\frac {2 \sqrt {30}} {\sqrt {30}} = 2

Answer:

Option A
