Question

1. |4n-15|=|n| 2. |2c+8|=|10c| can you please show the work for both

Answer 1

Problem 1

Answers: n = 3 or n = 5

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

Work Shown:

$|4n - 15| = |n|\\\\4n - 15 = n \ \text{ or } \ 4n-15 = -n\\\\-15 = n-4n \ \text{ or } \ -15 = -n-4n\\\\-15 = -3n \ \text{ or } \ -15 = -5n\\\\-3n = -15 \ \text{ or } \ -5n = -15\\\\n = \frac{-15}{-3} \ \text{ or } \ n = \frac{-15}{-5}\\\\n = 5 \ \text{ or } \ n = 3$

==============================================

Problem 2

Answers: c = 1 or c = -2/3

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

Work Shown:

$|2c+8| = |10c|\\\\2c+8 = 10c \ \text{ or } \ 2c+8 = -10c\\\\8 = 10c-2c \ \text{ or } \ 8 = -10c-2c\\\\8 = 8c \ \text{ or } \ 8 = -12c\\\\8c = 8 \ \text{ or } \ -12c = 8\\\\c = \frac{8}{8} \ \text{ or } \ c = \frac{8}{-12}\\\\c = 1 \ \text{ or } \ c = -\frac{2}{3}$
