Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
In an equation for which we are looking for the constant of proportionality, we use the base form below.
y = kx
In which k is the constant of proportionality. If we use the equation given
y = 2x
We can see k = 2
The first step for absolute value equations is to isolate the expression contained within the absolute value bars:
3|2x+4|-1 = 11
3|2x+4| = 12
|2x+4| = 4
so |2x+4| is 4 units away from 0 on a number line, but we don't know in which direction -- negative or positive? you'll have two answers.
2x+4 = 4
AND
2x+4 = -4
solve both of those two step equations and you'll get
x = 0
AND
x = -4
so 0 and -4 are your solutions.
The discriminant of the equation
is 76.
I hope that helps.
