Answer:
x = - 6 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function always returns a positive value. However, the expression inside can be positive or negative.
Given
| 2x + 4 | - 1 = 7 ( add 1 to both sides )
| 2x + 4 | = 8, thus
2x + 4 = 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
OR
-(2x + 4) = 8
- 2x - 4 = 8 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 2x = 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 6
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
x = 2 → | 4 + 4 | - 1 = | 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
x = - 6 → | - 12 + 4 | - 1 = | - 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
Hence the solutions are x = - 6 or x = 2
Answer:
1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Option 3 or 4 would be your correct answer
If we multiply the bottom equation by 2 and move x to the right, it becomes:
4y = 2x-38
Now we can substitute it for the 4y in the top equation:
3x + (2x-38) = -23 => 5x = -23+38 => 5x = 15 => x=3
Then 4y = 2*3-38 => y = -8
So the solution is (3,-8)
1st problem:
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
a^2+b^2=c^2
49+361=c^2
c^2=410
c=20.24
The answer is 20m
2nd problem:
First calculate the height using the Pythagorean theorem:
a^2+b^2=c^2
20^2+b^2=625 (i got 20 {radius} by half-ing the base edge length)
400+b^2=625
b^2=225
b=15
Next, solve for the volume:
V=a^2*h/3
V=40^2*15/3
V=1600*5
V=8000
The answer is the second choice or B.
