Answer:

|x - 34| = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find an absolute value equation that has the given solutions, let x represent the lenght for the given problem

So, the solutions are: x=32 and x=36

You have to calculate the midpoint of x=32 and x=36 because the absolute value from any of the given solutions to the midpoint is the same (the distance is the same)

The midpoint is:

\frac{36+32}{2} = 34

The distance from x=36 and the midpoint 34 can be calculated as:

36-34=2, which is the same distance from x=32 to the midpoint

So, x differ from the midpoint by 2 units

In conclussion, the absolute value of the difference between x and the midpoint equals 2:

|x - 34| = 2

Therefore, you have to solve the equation and prove that x=32 and x=36 are the solutions

Solving the equation:

By definition of absolute value, the expression between the absolute value is set to ± the number on the other side of the equality

x-34=2 (I) and x-34= -2 (II)

The solution of (I) is:

x=2+34

Therefore x=36

The solution of (II) is:

x=-2+34

Therefore x=32

If 180 kg of sugar is to be divided into 3 quantities of ratio 2:3:4 find the smallest and largest quantities.​
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

smallest amount of sugar = 40 kg

largest amount of sugar = 80 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

2 : 3 : 4

2 + 3 + 4 = 9

180 ÷ 9 = 20

Therefore,

2 : 3 : 4 = (2 x 20) : (3 x 20) : (4 x 20) = 40 : 60 : 80

So the smallest amount of sugar = 40 kg

and the largest amount of sugar = 80 kg

2a + b = 3 and a - 3b = 5
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a= 2 b=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

a-3b=5

or, a= 5+3b_(i)

substituting value of a in 2a+b=3,

2×(5+3b)+b=3

or, 10+6b+b=3

or, 7b=3-10

or, 7b=-7

b= -1

substituting value of b in(i),

a=5+3b

=5+3×(-1)

=5-3

=2
