HELP NEEDED!!

Mathematics
1 answer:
LenKa [72]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2| x - 3 | + 5 = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2| x - 3 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

| x - 3 | = 6

The absolute value function always returns a positive value but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is

x - 3 = 6 OR -( x - 3) = 6

x - 3 = 6 ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 9

OR

-( x - 3) = 6 ← distribute left side

- x + 3 = 6 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- x = 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 3

As a check

Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.

x = 9 → 2|9 - 3| + 5 = 2|6| + 5 = (2 × 6) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 ← True

x = - 3 → 2|- 3 - 3| + 5 = 2| - 6 | + 5 = (2 × 6) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 ← True

Hence x = 9 or x = - 3 are the solutions → a

Two basketballs are thrown along different paths. Determine if the basketballs’ paths are parallel to each
Paul [167]

Answer:

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

  • Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent.
  • Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
  • And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.

So, let's find the slope of each equation.

The first basketball is modeled by:

\displaystyle 3x+4y=12

We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3<em>x</em> from both sides:

4y=-3x+12

And divide both sides by four:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x+3

So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.

The second basketball is modeled by:

-6x-8y=24

Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6<em>x</em> to both sides:

-8y=6x+24

And divide both sides by negative eight:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x-3

So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.
