Answer:x=−1 or x=−4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3(|2x+5|)−9=0

Step 1: Add 9 to both sides.

3(|2x+5|)−9+9=0+9

3(|2x+5|)=9

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3(|2x+5|)

|2x+5|=3

Step 3: Solve Absolute Value.

|2x+5|=3

We know either2x+5=3or2x+5=−3

2x+5=3(Possibility 1)

2x+5−5=3−5(Subtract 5 from both sides)

2x=−2

−2

(Divide both sides by 2)

x=−1

2x+5=−3(Possibility 2)

2x+5−5=−3−5(Subtract 5 from both sides)

2x=−8

−8

(Divide both sides by 2)

x=−4

Answer: x=−1 or x=−4

Elainas old bicycle had tires with a 12-inch diameter her new bicycle had tires with a 16-inch diameter what is the difference i

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The difference between the circumference of the tires is 12.56 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diameter of old bicycle tires = 12 inch

Diameter of new bicycle tires = 16 inch

We need to find the difference in circumference of the tires.

Solution:

First we will find the circumference of Old bicycle tires.

Circumference can be calculated by π times diameter.

Circumference of Old bicycle tire = $\pi \times 12 = 37.68\ in$

Now we will find the circumference of new bicycle tire.

Circumference of New bicycle tire = $\pi \times 16 = 50.24\ in$

Now to find the difference between the circumference of the tires we will subtract Circumference of New bicycle tire from Circumference of Old bicycle tire we get;

framing in equation form we get;

difference between the circumference of the tires = $50.24-37.68 =12.56\ in$

Hence The difference between the circumference of the tires is 12.56 inches.

Pls help. I rly don't understand it.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

You just need to demonstrate that the expression is not equivalent. To do that, we just need to evaluate the expression with a specific number.

$\frac{3}{8}x+2 \neq \frac{3}{2}x+5$

For $x=0$ , we have

$\frac{3}{8}(0)+2 \neq \frac{3}{2}(0)+5\\2 \neq 5$

Notice that the answer is true because 2 is not equivalent to 5.

Therefore, the expression is actually non-equivalent.
