let's bear in mind that an absolute value expression is in effect a piece-wise expression,  namely it has a ± versions of the same expression.

\bf 5|3x-4| = x+1\implies |3x-4|=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies \begin{cases} +(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\\[1em] -(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ +(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies 3x-4=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies 15x-20=x+1 \\\\\\ 14x-20=1\implies 14x=21\implies x = \cfrac{21}{14}\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{3}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies -3x+4=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies -15x+20=x+1 \\\\\\ 20=16x+1\implies 19=16x\implies \boxed{\cfrac{19}{16}=x}

What is the area of triangle ABC?
Ann [662]

Answer:

A = 3 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is

A  = 1/2 bh where b is the length of the base and h is the height

b = the distance from B to C = 4 units = 2  ( watch the scale)

h = the distance from A to C along the x axis =6 units = 3  (watch the scale)

A = 1/2 (2)(3)

A = 3 units^2

Which graph represents the solution set for the inequality -8 < 8 + 4x < 28
valina [46]

Answer:

The solution set for the inequality is the interval (-4, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 < 8 + 4x < 28

Subtracting 8:

-8 -8 < 8 + 4x - 8 < 28 - 8

-16 < 4x < 20

Dividing by 4:

-16/4 < 4x/4 < 20/4

-4 < x < 5

x ∈ (-4, 5)

What is 560 miles in 10hours ?
Gala2k [10]

A good way to think about this is take the phrase "miles in hours" from the question. You are given "560 miles in 10 hours" and what you need to figure out is "X miles in 1 hours." To go from 10 hours to 1 hour, you divide by 10. So you also want to divide miles by 10 to keep everything consistent. 560/10 = 56 miles.

<h3>The answer is 56 miles.</h3>

Find the area of the shaded triangle below.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

A = 12 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Triangle = base * height / 2

The triangle might look weird and doesn't look like it has a base, but if you look at the left side you see there is a straight line which means there is a base, so we flip the picture until we see that the flat line on the bottom or the base.

The base is 4 units.

To find the height, we don't need a straight line, we just need to see how the tall the triangle is, to do that you must start from the lowest point and count up to the highest point.

You now get 6 units.

A = bh/2

A = 4*6/2

A = 24/2

A = 12 square units
