Question

Which of the following are solutions to | x+3|= 4x - 7?

Answer 1

Answer:

may be written as:

3 + ? = 7, 3 + n = 7, 3 + x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

and so on, where the symbols ?, n, and x represent the number we want to find. We call such shorthand versions of stated problems equations, or symbolic sentences. Equations such as x + 3 = 7 are first-degree equations, since the variable has an exponent of 1. The terms to the left of an equals sign make up the left-hand member of the equation; those to the right make up the right-hand member. Thus, in the equation x + 3 = 7, the left-hand member is x + 3 and the right-hand member is 7.
