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!

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 boxes of tomatoes currently. uses 1 3/4, taking it away basically.

3 1/2 - 1 3/4

3 2/4 - 1 3/4 ;; i did this with finding a common denominator for it to be easier for me to solve.

3 - 1 = 2

2/4 - 3/4 = -1/4

2 + -1/4 = 1 3/4

correct me if wrong.

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to 3x-7y=42 which passes through the point (-3,-8)
harkovskaia [24]
For perpendicular lines, m1m2 = -1 or m2 = -1/m1; where m1 and m2 are the slopes of the lines.
Here line 1 is 3x - 7y = 42
7y = 3x - 42
y = 3/7 x - 6; Hence m1 = 3/7
m2 = -1/(3/7) = -7/3
Required equation y - y1 = m2(x - x1)
y - (-8) = -7/3(x - (-3))
y + 8 = -7/3(x + 3)
y + 8 = -7/3 x - 7
y = -7/3 x - 7 - 8
y = -7/3 x - 15

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 26 mm. One leg of the right triangle is 10 mm. What is the length of the other leg? (4 poi
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

24 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.

We know one of the legs is 10, and the hypotenuse is 26, so we can substitute 10 in for a, and 26 in for c.

10^2+b^2=26^2

Solve the exponents

100+b^2=676

Now, solve for b. To do this, get b by itself.

First, subtract 100 from both sides

100-100+b^2=676-100

b^2=576

Take the square root of both sides

\sqrt{b^2}=\sqrt{576}

b=24

So, the other leg is 24 mm
