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!

Hello.

To find the slope, use the formula:

m= (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

Note: The 2s and 1s are NOT exponents or constants. They are simply markers.

So:

m= (5-(-4)) / (2-0)

m= (5+4) / 2

m = 9/2

Note: The order of the coordinates don't matter as long as y2 is aligned with x2 etc.

Example: (okay)

m= ((-4)-5) / (0-2)

m= -9/ -2

m= 9/2 because a negative multiplied or divided by a negative makes a positive.

Now, let's see what's not okay:

(2,5)(0,-4)

m= (5-(-4)) / (0-2)

NOT. OKAY. since the 1s and 2s aren't aligned.

Hope that helped.

A bag contains 6 green marbles, 9 red marbles, 7 white marbles, and 3 black marbles. What is the probability of drawing a red ma
bonufazy [111]

Well if you add them all together you would get 25. You would have 9/25 red marbles. Then you would take 9 and divide it by 25 and get 0.36 and if you move the decimal over 2 places you’ll get 36%
