Since this is an absolute value equation, it will have two answers. For the first answer, take away the absolute value bars and solve 3x + 1 = 2. Subtract 1 from both sides to get 3x = 1 and divide each side by 3 to get x = 1/3. Now onto the second solution. This time, take away the absolute value bars and make the other side of the equation, the 2, negative, to get 3x + 1 = -2. Now solve this by subtracting 1 from each side to get 3x = -3 and divide each side to get the other answer which is x = -1. The answer is x = -1 or 1/3, hope this helps!

Hey there!

The absolute value makes negative numbers positive. If they are already positive, then leave it. So it would be 3x+1=2. You need to isolate x. So subtract one from each side to get 3x=1. Divide each side by 3. You get x=1/3. Since x is by itself, you have the answer of x=1/3.

I hope this helps!

Solve the inequality, -4 less than 4(6y-12)-2y
erastova [34]

-4 < 4(6y - 12) - 2y

<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>

-4 < 24y - 48 - 2y

<em><u>Combine like terms.</u></em>

-4 < 22y - 48

<em><u>Add 48 to both sides.</u></em>

44 < 22y

<em><u>Divide both sides by 22.</u></em>

2 < y

The value of y is greater than the value of 2.

Given 16 = −5 + z4solve for z
AysviL [449]
Hi,

16 = - 5 + z4 \\ - 4z + 16 = - 5 \\ - 4z = - 5 - 16 \\ - 4z = -21

Now just divide both sides of equation by -4.

z = \frac{21}{4}

Simplify:

z = 5 \frac{1}{4} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: fraction \: result

Decimal form:

z = 5.25 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: decimal \: result

Hope this helps.
