Equation #1:
|2x - 3| = 17
The first solution is
2x - 3 = 17
2x = 17 + 3 = 20
x = 10
The second solution is
3 - 2x = 17
-2x = 17 - 3 = 14
x = -7
The solutions are x = 10 or x = -7.
Equation #2:
|5x + 3| = 12
The only solution is
5x + 3 = 12
5x = 12 - 3 = 9
x = 9/5
Let us examine the given answers.
a. Equation #1 and #2 have the same number of solutions.
FALSE
b. Equation @1 has more solutions than Equation #2.
TRUE
c. Equation #1 has fewer solutions than equation #2.
FALSE
d. None of the statements a,b, or c apply.
FALSE
Answer: b.
Your answer is 3 raised to 4 that is 3^4.
Hope this helps :)
9.4 Ft for the first one
7.5 Ft for the second piece
12 Ft for the Third
he uses 5.2 Ft from the first piece of wood so 9.4 - 5.2= 4.6ft
he uses 6.1 ft from the second piece of wood , 7.5 - 6.1 = 1.4 ft
Nathan didnt use any of the 3rd piece of wood , so he still have 12 Feet of wood remaining so, 12+4.6+1.4 = 18 feet of wood left that he didnt use.
