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!

AB≅BC≅CD≅DE, AD = 8x - 4, AB = x + 2 solve for AB
Levart [38]

Just solve for , then substitute back into either expression and calculate either BC or AD. The other one is then the same amount.


The one about the square is the same thing except you don't care how the figure is named because all 4 sides are equal anyway. Just set the two expressions equal to one another and then solve for

A pair of shoes costs $45.95. There is 9.5% sales tax on it. How do you estimate the total bill to check for reasonableness?
natka813 [3]
Take 10% of $50, which is $5, and add it to the price of the shoes.

5 + 50 = 55

The total bill should be somewhere around $55.
