Answer:
The two solutions are 5 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the absolute has two solutions because IxI = a means x = a and x = -a
Let us solve the question using this fact
∵ I2x - 8I + 3 = 5
→ Subtract 3 from both sides
∴ I2x - 8I + 3 - 5 = 5 - 3
∴ I2x - 8I = 2
By using the fact above
→ 1st solution
∵ 2x - 8 = 2
→ Add 8 to both sides
∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8
∴ 2x = 10
→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x
∴ x = 5
→ 2nd solution
∵ 2x - 8 = -2
→ Add 8 to both sides
∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8
∴ 2x = 6
→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x
∴ x = 3
∴ The two solutions are 5 and 3
You can set both fractions to have the same denominator by multiplying 6/8 (both the 6 and 8) by 2 to keep the value of the fraction, while turning the denominator to 16. So you get 12/16=y/16.
That means for the equation to be true y has to be 12.
Hope this helps!
The equation would be y=2/3x+300
It could be 8ft, if the area is 64.
