Answer:

x =5

Step-by-step explanation:

transfer -2 to the other side it turns to +2

|2x-1|=7 +2

2x-1 =9

transfer -1 to the other side it turns to +1

2x=10

Divide both sides by 2

2x /2 = 10/2

x= 5

Ok so first u add 2 to both sides
|2x-1|=5
then youre doing 2 equations
2x-1= 5 2x-1=-5
2x=6. 2x=-4
x=3. x=-2

Aaron's car used 3- gallons of gas when

monitta

We want to find miles per gallon. Another way of saying miles per gallon is miles/gallon. So we will plug the numbers into this equation:

60 miles/3 gallons = 20 miles/gallon

This is because 60/3=20.

I hope this makes sense.

Nathan hit 19 homeruns. He scored 3 fewer homeruns than twice the number of homeruns hit by jason. Write and solve an equation t

Vinvika [58]

Jason hit 11 homeruns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeruns hit by Nathan = 19

Let,

Homeruns hit by Nathan = x

Homerun hit by Jason = y

According to given statement;

x = 2y - 3 Eqn 1

We know that Nathan hit 19 homeruns, therefore, putting x=19 in Eqn 1

$19=2y-3\\19+3=2y\\22=2y\\2y=22$

Dividing both sides by 2;

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{22}{2}\\y=11$

Jason hit 11 homeruns.
