Please solve the problem |x+1|+|x−2|=3

Mathematics

Answer:

{-1, 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantity x + 1 changes sign at x = -1; equivalently, x + 1 = 0 when x = -1.

If x = -1, then |x+1|+|x−2|=3 becomes |-1 + 1| + |-1 −2|=3, which is TRUE.  So x = -1 is a solution.

If x = 2, then we have the equation |2 + 1| + |2 − 2|=3, or |2 + 1| = 3, which is TRUE.  So x = 2 is also a solution.

Solve the following rational equation plz help!!
Yuri [45]

Answer:

x = \frac{9}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4x}{x+1} - \frac{5}{x} = \frac{4}{x^2+x} ← factor denominator

\frac{4x}{x+1} - \frac{5}{x} = \frac{4}{x(x+1)}

[ x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 1 as these would make the terms undefined ]

Multiply through by x(x + 1)

4x² - 5(x + 1) = 4

4x² - 5x - 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

4x² - 5x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 1)(4x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

4x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 9 ⇒ x = \frac{9}{4}

However, x ≠ - 1 for reason given above, then

solution is x = \frac{9}{4}

Given: QR = 59; RT = 59 Prove: QR = RT StatementsReason 1. QR = 59; RT = 591. Given 2. 59 = RT2. Symmetric Property of Equality
Studentka2010 [4]
Statement 3 is QR=RT. This can be validified by the reason of Transitive Property of Equality. This property is applied when the situation is if a=c and b=c, then a=b. The same is true for QR=59 and RT=59, then QR=RT.

The drama club is showing a video of their recent play.The first showing will begin at 2:30pm.The second showing was scheduled t
Rudiy27
The second showing had begun at 5:25. And there had been a 1/2 hour (30 minutes) break before it. So we substract this break from 5:25 and we get 4:55 - the time when the first showing had ended. 

So the first showing had begun at 2:30 and had ended at 4:55. By substracting 2:30 from 4:55 we get 2:25 - that's the duration of the video.

The answer is 2 hours and 25 minutes.
