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!

The atmospheric pressure on an object decreases as altitude increases. If a is the height (in km) above sea level, then the pres
seraphim [82]

Answer:

373.8mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

a =height (in km) above sea level,

the pressure P(a) (in mmHg) is approximated given as

P(a) = 760e–0.13a .

To determine the atmospheric pressure at 5.458 km, then we will input into the equation

P(5.458km) = 760e–0.13a .

= 760e^(-0.13×5.458)

=760e^-(0.70954)

= 760×0.4919

=373.8mmHg

Therefore, the atmospheric pressure at 5.458 km is 373.8mmHg
