Answer:

x = - 2, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve

3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

| x - 2 | = 4

The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus

x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 6

OR

- (x - 2) = 4

- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 2

As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions

x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6

A glass is
fenix001 [56]

Step-by-step explanation:

x=volume of the glass

(1/3)x+63=(5/8)x

63=(5/8)x-(1/3)x

63=(15/24)x-(8/24)x

63=(7/24)x

multiply both sides by 24/7

(24/7)(63)=(24/7)(7/24)x

216=x

216 cm3 is the volume (answer)

1/3 of 216 is 72

72+63=135

135/216=0.625=5/8
