Answer:
10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
|x+3|=4x-7
So |-(x+3)|=|x+3|
We are going to try out two cases:
-(x+3)=4x-7 and x+3=4x-7
-x-3=4x-7 3=3x-7
-3=5x-7 10=3x
4=5x x=10/3
x=4/5
We are going to test out both because we could something that isn't actually a solution, this is called extraneous.
First thing I'm going to check is 4x-7 for it being positive.
4(4/5)-7=20/5-7=-15/5=-3 so 4/5 will not work because absolute value result can't be negative
4(10/3)-7=40/3-7=19/3 which is positive
checking |x+3| to see if is 19/3 for x=10/3 we see that is so that is the answer
To set up your system of equations is to have 2 equations. They both would have 1 similar variable. For example, Jenny is 5 more her brother's age. She is also 2 more than twice her brother's age. You would set this up as Y, which is Jenny, and X, her brother. Y = 5 + x and Y = 2x + 2. Make sure you put Y in the same spot in both equations. Then take the other half of the equations and simplify them. 5 + x = 2x + 2. Subtract x from both sides to get 5 = x + 2. Subtract 2 from both sides to get 3 = x. Now replace the X from both equations to get Y = 5+3, and Y = 2(3) + 2. You will see both add up to 8, which is how old Jenny is in this example. Hope this helped!
I’m working it out give me like 5 minsss
X+y= -12
xy=8
y=8/x
x+8/x=-12
x^2+12x+8=0
This has no integral
The distance between the numbers increases by two every interval
for example, the difference between 1 and 2 is 1, if you add 2 you get 3, and the difference between 2 and 5 is 3
hope this helped!
