Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.
The Absolute Value term is |x-3|
For the Negative case we'll use -(x-3)
For the Positive case we'll use (x-3)
Step 3 :
Solve the Negative Case
-(x-3) = 12
Multiply
-x+3 = 12
Rearrange and Add up
-x = 9
Multiply both sides by (-1)
x = -9
Which is the solution for the Negative Case
Step 4 :
Solve the Positive Case
(x-3) = 12
Rearrange and Add up
x = 15
Which is the solution for the Positive Case
Step 5 :
Wrap up the solution
x=-9
x=15
Answer:
x = 4; x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
|3x| = 12
3x = 12
3x/3 = 12/3
x = 4
3x = -12
3x/3 = -12/3
x = -4

Answer:
As the question states, predict how many times. I don't get the "realistic" prediction part, but however,
he caught it 9/10 times. I can predict he will catch it 29.7 times, rounded to 30 times.
y = 6x - 4
Substitute the given x values to solve for y.
x = 1:
y = 6(1) - 4
y = 6 - 4
y = 2
1 = 2
x = 3:
y = 6(3) - 4
y = 18 - 4
y = 14
3 = 14
x = 10:
y = 6(10) - 4
y = 60 - 4
y = 56
10 = 56
x y
1 2
3 14
10 56
