Question

Which of the following is(are) the solution(s) to 16x-51- 7?

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

| 6x - 5 | = 7

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

6x - 5 = 7 ( add 5 to both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2

OR

- (6x - 5) = 7 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by - 1

- 6x + 5 = 7 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 6x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = $\frac{2}{-6}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$

Then solutions are x = 2, x = - $\frac{1}{3}$ → C

Answer 2

X= -2 because I love school soooo much
