Hello!

Let's convert 3/8 to a decimal and then multiply the length of each piece of tape by how many pieces Marge used.

To convert a fraction to a decimal, simply divide its numerator by its denominator:

3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

Next, multiply this by the amount of pieces Marge cut.

0.375 × 16 = 6

Therefore, Marge used 6 inches of tape.

Solve the absolute value equation<br> algebraically: 3|2x - 3| + 2 = 3
kupik [55]

Answer:

3 |2x - 3|  = 1

3 |2x - 3|  = 1 \\ 6x - 9 = 1 \\ 6x = 10 \\ x =  \frac{10}{6}  = \frac{5}{3}

3 |2x - 3|  =  - 1 \\ 6x - 9 =  - 1 \\ 6x = 8 \\ x =  \frac{4}{3}

x =  \frac{5}{3} x =  \frac{4}{3}

I am sorry but I am not sure of this :(

Solve the following equation:<br> 9n² - n - 2/3 = 0
KIM [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9n² - n - \frac{2}{3} = 0 ← multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

27n² - 3n - 2 = 0 ← factoring

Consider the factors of the product of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term

product = 27 × - 2 = - 54 and sum = - 3

The factors are - 9 and + 6

Use these factors to split the n- term

27n² - 9n + 6n - 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

9n(3n - 1) + 2(3n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (3n - 1) from each term

(3n - 1)(9n + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n = \frac{1}{3}

9n + 2 = 0 ⇒ 9n = - 2 ⇒ n = - \frac{2}{9}
