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!

20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number
kompoz [17]
<h3>20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number. Then the number is 13</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given statement is:</u></em>

20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number

We can translate the sentence into algebraic expression

Let "a" be the unknown number

Then,

20 subtracted from three times "a" is 6 more than "a"

Which means,

3a - 20 = 6 + a

3a - a = 6 + 20

2a = 26

Divide both sides by 2

a = 13

Thus the number is 13

The sum of the square of a positive number and the square of 44 more than the number is 8080. what is the​ number?
mash [69]
Let the number be x, therefore, its square is x², and 44 more than the number is x+44 whose square is (x+4)².
Thus the sum will be x² + (x+44)²² = 8080
                                  x² + x² + 88x + 1936= 8080 Combining the right terms 
                                  2x² + 8x - 6144 = 0 dividing by 2
                                     x² + 44x - 3072 =0 solving for x
                          x = 37.6 or -81.6
Therefore, the positive number is 37.6

A restaurant has two different seating options: a table and a family booth. A table can seat 4 people, and a family booth can se
krok68 [10]

Answer: 242 = 190 + 4t

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the maximum capacity of the restaurant is 242 people, meaning that at most there can only be that many customers seated at that time. Normally, the equation would be 242 = 10b + 4t, but since you already know the number of booths, your work is cut in half, giving you 242 = 10(19) + 4t. The equation would be this because you have the capacity being equal to the number of tables x the number of people at each table and the number of booths x the number of people seated at each of them.
