Select the graph for the solution of the open sentence. Click until the correct graph appears. 5|x| + 3 < 18
netineya [11]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

5|x| + 3 < 18

Subtract 3 from each side

5|x| + 3-3 < 18-3

5|x| < 15

Divide by 5

5|x| /5 < 15/5

|x|  < 3

There are  two solutions for an absolute value, one positive and one negative ( the negative flips the inequality)

x <3  and  x > -3

A bag contains purple marbles and red marbles, 34 in total. The number of purple marbles is 2 more than 3 times the number of re
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

There are 26 purple marbles in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you have to make an expression in terms of x where x represent red marbles. Given that the question says purple marbles is 2 more than 3 times the number of red marbles. So the expression is :

Let red marbles = x,

purple = 2 + 3x

red = x

Next, given that the total marbles in the bag is 34 so you have to add both marbles together and solve the value of x :

2 + 3x + x = 34

4x = 32

x = 32 \div 4

x = 8

Lastly, you have to substitute the value of x into the expression of purple marbles :

Let x = 8,

purpe = 2 + 3(8)

purple = 26
