Question

Which value of x results in equal outputs for j(x) = 3x − 2 and b(x) = |x + 2|

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

J(x)=b(x)

3x-2=|x+2|

3x-2=±(x+2)

when 3x-2=x+2

3x-x=2+2

2x=4

x=4/2=2

when 3x-2=-(x+2)

3x-2=-x-2

4x=-2+2=0

x=0

it is rejected as 0-2≠|0+2|

or -2=2

so x=2
