Answer:
f(x)=|x-2|+3
0=|x-2|+3
0-3=|x-2|+3-3
-3+2=x-2+2
-1=x
Step-by-step explanation:
- set the function equal to zero
- you can subtract 3 from both sides or you can add -2 and 3 and then you subtract your answer from both sides to solve for x
Answer:
Let x represents the week and y represents the seashells
As per the statement:
Dora has 10 seashells and plans to add 2 shells every week.
"2 shells every week" means 2x
⇒y = 10 + 2x
It is also given, Jerri has 4 seashells and plans to add 5 shells every week.
"5 shells every week" means 2x
⇒ y = 4 + 5x
The system of equation would be used:
y = 10 + 2x
y = 4 + 5x
Since, the girls have the same number of seashells
⇒
Subtract 4 from both sides we get;
Subtract 2x from both sides we get;
Divide by 3 both sides we have;
x = 2 weeks.
Therefore, the number of weeks would it be before the girls have the same number if seashells is, 2 weeks.
Answer: x = -7 or x = -4
Step-by-step explanation: When an equation has a squared term in it
such as x² + 11x + 28 = 0, it's called a polynomial equation.
The rule for solving a polynomial equation
is to first set it equal to zero, then factor.
Since this equation is already set equal to zero,
our first step is to factor the left side of the equation.
To factor x² + 11x + 28, we need the factors
of 28 that add to 11 which are 7 and 4.
So we have (x + 7)(x + 4) = 0.
Whenever two terms are multiplied together to equal zero,
this means that either one or the other must equal zero.
So if (x + 7)(x + 4) = 0, then either x + 7 = 0 or x + 4 = 0.
Solving each equation from here, we get x = -7 or x = -4.
So our solution is {-7, -4}.
