What is the question you need help on
Equation #1:
|2x - 3| = 17
The first solution is
2x - 3 = 17
2x = 17 + 3 = 20
x = 10
The second solution is
3 - 2x = 17
-2x = 17 - 3 = 14
x = -7
The solutions are x = 10 or x = -7.
Equation #2:
|5x + 3| = 12
The only solution is
5x + 3 = 12
5x = 12 - 3 = 9
x = 9/5
Let us examine the given answers.
a. Equation #1 and #2 have the same number of solutions.
FALSE
b. Equation @1 has more solutions than Equation #2.
TRUE
c. Equation #1 has fewer solutions than equation #2.
FALSE
d. None of the statements a,b, or c apply.
FALSE
Answer: b.
y = -1 + 3/8x
2x - 5y = 6
Substitute the first equation into the second equation, since y is already by itself.
2x - 5(-1 + 3/8x) = 6
2x + 5 - 15/8x = 6
2x - 15/8x = 1
16/8x - 15/8x = 1
1/8x = 1 Multiply 8 on both sides to get x by itself
x = 8
Plug x into either of the equations.
y = -1 + 3/8(8)
y = -1 + 3
y = 2
2(8) - 5y = 6
16 - 5y = 6
-5y = -10
y = 2
(8,2)
