Solve for x: -3|2x + 6| = -12

Mathematics
1 answer:
Yuri [45]3 years ago
5 0
-3|2x + 6| = -12
|2x + 6| = -12/-3 = 4
2x + 6 = 4 and 2x + 6 = -4
2x = 4 - 6 = -2 and 2x = -4 - 6 = -10
x = -2/2 = -1 and x = -10/2 = -5
x = -1 and x = -5

1, 5, 17, 53, ... Use inductive reasoning to create a general rule for the sequence. A. Multiply by 3, then add 2. B. Multiply b
Basile [38]
The answer to this problem is the letter "A" which is "Multiply by 3, then add 2"
and can be written a N = 3n + 2
At first, we have initial value such n = 1
Then the second value is:
N = 3*1 + 2
N = 5
The third value is:
N = 3*5 + 2
N=17
The next values are:
N = 3*17 + 2
N= 53
The letter "A" is the inductive reasoning to the given sequence.

What is a number line for 5a + 18 < -27?
Alexandra [31]

a < -9

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

                    5*a+18-(-27)<0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  5a + 45  =   5 • (a + 9)  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

2.1    Divide both sides by  5  

Solve Basic Inequality :

2.2      Subtract  9  from both sides

           a < -9

A private airplane leaves an airport and flies due east at 192 km/hr. Two hours later, a jet leaves the same airport and flies d
elixir [45]
The answer is 0.5 hours.

A velocity (v) of an object is a distance (d) divided by time (t):
v = d ÷ t                         ⇒                  t = d ÷ v

It is given:
v1 = 192 km/h
v2 = 960 km/h
t1 - t2 = 2h
We need to calculate t2.

Since they will travel the same distance before the jet overtakes the plane, we can say that d1 = d2 = d

Now, let's express t1 and t2:
t1 = d/192
t2 = d/960

Therefore: d/192 - d/960 = 2
The least common denominator is 960, so:
5d/960 - d/960 = 2
4d/960 = 2
4d = 2 · 960
4d = 1920
d = 1920 ÷ 4 = 480 km

Now t2 = d/960 = 480/960 = 0.5 hours.
