By definition of absolute value we have two equalities:
2x + 1 = 10
2x + 1 = -10
For 2x + 1 = 10:
2x + 1 = 10
2x = 10-1
2x = 9
x = 9/2
For 2x + 1 = -10:
2x + 1 = -10
2x = -10-1
2x = -11
x = -11 / 2
Answer:
{-11/2, 9/2}

$answer \\ 13.5 \: m/s \\ given \\ initial \: velocity(u) = \: 3 \: m/s \\ acceleration(a) = 1.5 \: m/s ^2\\ time(t) = 7 \: second \\ now \\ v = u + at \\ or \: v = 3 + 1.5 \times 7 \\ \: or \: v = 3 + 10.5 \\ v = 13.5 \: m/s \\ hope \: it \: helps$

Solve the system by elimination. (Please explain how to do it)

Apply to Row 2 : Row 2 + Row 1

2x + 2y + 3z = 0

y + 4z = -3

2x + 3y + 3z = 5

Apply to Row 3: Row 3 - Row 1

2x + 2y + 3z = 0

y + 4z = -3

y = 5

Apply to Row 3: Row 3 - Row 2

2x + 2y + 3z = 0

y + 4z = -3

-4z = 8

Simplify rows

2x + 2y + 3z = 0

y + 4z = -3

z = -2

Note that the matrix is in echelon form now. The next steps are for back substitution.

Apply to Row 2: Row 2 - 4 Row 3

2x + 2y + 3z = 0

y = 5

z = -2

Apply to Row 1: Row 1 - 3 Row 3

2x + 2y = 6

y = 5

z = -2

Apply to Row 1: Row 1 - 2 Row 2

2x = -4

y = 5

z = 2

Simplify the rows

x = -2

y = 5

z = -2

Somebody help and explain!!!

Answer: The midpoint of segment PQ is the number 2.5

note: 2.5 as a fraction is 5/2; as a mixed number 2.5 converts to 2&1/2

============================================================

Explanation:

Apply the midpoint formula to get the midpoint of -8 and 6

We simply add up the values and divide by 2 and we get (-8+6)/2 = -2/2 = -1

So point Q is at -1 on the number line, which is exactly halfway from R to P

Focus on just points P and Q now. Apply the midpoint formula again

Q = -1

P = 6

(Q+P)/2 = (-1+6)/2 = 5/2 = 2.5

So the midpoint of segment PQ is 2.5

The decimal 2.5 can be written as the mixed number 2&1/2, showing that this new point is exactly halfway between 2 and 3.
