Solve the absolute value equation, if possible. If there is no solution, explain why.

1 answer:

5 0

There is no solution. I know this because the answer to an absolute value expression cannot be a negative.

Let´s explain. The absolute value means how far the number is from 0. You can´t be -5 units away from 0, right? This is why the answer to an absolute value expression cannot be negative.

Since the whole left side of the equation is surrounded by absolute value bars, it should be equal to a positive number. But it's not. So, there is no solution.

You leave home and walk 3 blocks east, then 4 blocks north. How far are you from<br><br>home?

I believe the answer would 5 blocks

If you go 3 blocks East and 4 north, they are like the straight sides of a triangle, so to find the diagonal distance, or the shortest distance, you would find the diagonal side of a triangle it is
A squared + B squared = C squared

So 3x3 = 9
And 4x4 = 16
16+9=25
And the square root of 25 is 5

Please correct me if I am wrong and have a good day

Simplify the following expression 4x + 3t - 2x- 4

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

2x + 3t - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

To simplify the expression, we must combine like terms. To start, let's combine all of the x-values.

4x + 3t - 2x - 4

When we combine 4x and -2x we get 2x.

2x + 3t - 4

We can't combine anything else. They don't have the same variables and 4 doesn't even have a variable, so 2x + 3t -4 is the simplified expression.

I hope this helps :)
