Solve for x: −5|x + 1| = 10 (1 point) x = 0 x = −3 and x = 1 x = −1 and x = 3 No solution

1 answer:

7 0

Ok so let's do this

<span>Step 1: Divide both sides by -5.
</span>-5(|x+1|)/-5 =10/-5
|x+1| = -2

<span>Step 2: Solve Absolute Value.
</span><span>|x+1|</span>=<span>−<span>2
</span></span><span>No solutions. (Absolute value cannot be less than 0.)</span>

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$x = \frac{22}{3}$

<h3>alternative form:</h3>

$x = 7 \frac{1}{3} \: or \: x = 7.33333333333$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

$2(3x + 1) = 17 - 3( x - 17) \\ distribute \\ \\ 6x + 2 = 17 - 3x + 51 \\ add \: 3x \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ 9x + 2 = 17 + 51 \\ add \: 17 \: to \: 51 \\ \\ 9x + 2 = 68 \\ subtract \: 2 \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ 9x = 66 \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 9 \\ \\ x = \frac{22}{3}$

Find the simplified product ^3 sqrt 9x^4 * ^3 sqrt 3x^8

AleksAgata [21]

$\bf ~\hspace{7em}\textit{rational exponents} \\\\ a^{\frac{ n}{ m}} \implies \sqrt[ m]{a^ n} ~\hspace{10em} a^{-\frac{ n}{ m}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{\frac{ n}{ m}}} \implies \cfrac{1}{\sqrt[ m]{a^ n}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \sqrt[3]{9x^4}\cdot \sqrt[3]{3x^8}\implies (9x^4)^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot (3x^8)^{\frac{1}{3}}\implies 9^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot x^{4\cdot \frac{1}{3}}\cdot 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot x^{8\cdot \frac{1}{3}}$

$\bf 9^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot x^{\frac{4}{3}}\cdot x^{\frac{8}{3}}\implies (3^2)^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot x^{\frac{4}{3}+\frac{8}{3}}\implies 3^{\frac{2}{3}}\cdot 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot x^{\frac{12}{3}} \\\\\\ 3^{\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}}x^4\implies 3^{\frac{3}{3}}x^4\implies 3x^4$
