Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3 - 2 |0.5x + 1.5 | = 2 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- 2 |0.5x + 1.5 | = - 1 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

|0.5x + 1.5 | = 0.5

The absolute value function always gives a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus

0.5x + 1.5 = 0.5 ( subtract 1.5 from both sides )

0.5x = - 1 ( divide both sides by 0.5 )

x = - 2 ← solution Manuela obtained

OR

-(0.5x + 1.5) = 0.5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by - 1

- 0.5x - 1.5 = 0.5 ( add 1.5 to both sides )

- 0.5x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 0.5 )

x = - 4 ← other solution to the equation

Which equations illustrate the commutative property of addition?

I believe it is A and D. All you have to do is add them all together and if both sides are the same then its a correct answer.

What is the geometric mean of 30 and 6
Alik [6]
Since we have 2 numbers, we'll be square rooting.

All we have to do to find the mean is multiply & square root the products.

30 × 6 = 180

\sqrt{180} = 13.42

You can use the same process and check my answer if you'd like; I rounded the square root, so you may get a different answer.
