Answer:

x = 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{4x-6}{4}$ = $\frac{2x+5}{3}$ ( cross- multiply )

3(4x - 6) = 4(2x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

12x - 18 = 8x + 20 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

4x - 18 = 20 ( add 18 to both sides )

4x = 38 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = $\frac{38}{4}$ = 9.5

"find values of a and b that make the statement |a+b|=|a| + |b| false"

kotegsom [21]

Just choose any combination so that a is negative and b is positive, and vice versa. For example, if a = 3 and b = -6, |3-6| ≠ |3| + |-6|.
This is because |-3| = 3, and |3|+|-6| = 3+6 = 9.
3≠9.
