The first step for absolute value equations is to isolate the expression contained within the absolute value bars:
3|2x+4|-1 = 11
3|2x+4| = 12
|2x+4| = 4
so |2x+4| is 4 units away from 0 on a number line, but we don't know in which direction -- negative or positive? you'll have two answers.
2x+4 = 4
AND
2x+4 = -4
solve both of those two step equations and you'll get
x = 0
AND
x = -4
so 0 and -4 are your solutions.

x=7 and Y=2
2×7*2
14*2
The answer is definitely -4 1/8
Answer: The distance between the girls is 362.8 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have two triangle rectangles that have a cathetus in common, with a length of 160 meters.
The adjacent angle to this cathetus is 40° for Anna, then the opposite cathetus (the distance between Anna and the tower) can be obtained with the relationship:
Tan(A) = opposite cath/adjacent cath.
Tan(40°) = X/160m
Tan(40°)*160m = 134.3 m
Now, we can do the same thing for Veronica, but in this case the angle adjacent to the tower is 55°
So we have:
Tan(55°) = X/160m
Tan(55°)*160m = X = 228.5 m
And we know that the girls are in opposite sides of the tower, so the distance between the girls is equal to the sum of the distance between each girl and the tower, then the distance between the girls is:
Dist = 228.5m + 134.3m = 362.8m
