Absolute values are a way of finding a distant from zero, which means there will be 2 answers; one will be positive, and the other will be negative.
|<em>3x - 4</em>| = 5<em>and</em> |3<em>x - 4</em> = a^5 Because you need 2 answers, you have to make 5 positive and negative.
Another way to write this equation would be...
5=|3x-4|=—5
Now lets continue...
5=3x-4=—5
Add 4 to both sides...
9=3x=—1
Now divide by 3...
3=x= -1/3
So the solution is...
X={-1/3 3}
Answer:
n = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
4n + 2 = 26,
4n = 24,
n = 6
Given :
A contestant on a game show must guess the price of a new car. The contestant will win if his guess is within $1000 of the price of the car.
To Find :
If the price of the car is $24,995 and the contestant's guess is represented by g, what absolute value inequality represents this situation.
Solution :
Let, range in which participant guess would be considered correct is r.
So, r should be in range $( 24,995 ± 1000 ).
( 24,995 - 1000 ) ≤ r ≤ ( 24,995 + 1000 )
23,995 ≤ r ≤ 25,995
Therefore, the correct inequality is 23,995 ≤ r ≤ 25,995 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
