<h3>Answer: choice C) 15</h3>

Simplify the left side to get

2(4+x)+(13+x)

2(4)+2(x) +13+x

8+2x+13+x

3x+21

------------

So the original equation

2(4+x)+(13+x) = 3x+k

turns into

3x+21 = 3x+k

------------

Subtract 3x from both sides

3x+21 = 3x+k

3x+21-3x = 3x+k-3x

21 = k

k = 21

-----------

If k = 21, then the original equation will have infinitely many solutions. This is because we will end up with 3x+21 on both sides, leading to 0 = 0 after getting everything to one side. This is a true equation no matter what x happens to be.

If k is some fixed number other than 21, then there will be no solutions. This equation is inconsistent (one side says one thing, the other side says something different). If k = 15, then

3x+21 = 3x+k

3x+21 = 3x+15

21 = 15 .... subtract 3x from both sides

The last equation is false, so there are no solutions here.

note: if you replace k with a variable term, then there will be exactly one solution.

Given the function f(x) = 3|x – 2| + 6, for what values of x is f(x) = 18?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

x = - 2, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve

3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

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

| x - 2 | = 4

The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus

x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 6

OR

- (x - 2) = 4

- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 2

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 = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6
