D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = - 2, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve
3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
| x - 2 | = 4
The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus
x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )
x = 6
OR
- (x - 2) = 4
- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 2
As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions
x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6

Multiplying the matrices with the scalars, the given equation becomes,
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x&9\\12&6\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{cc}y&4y\\3y&2y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1.5x%269%5C%5C12%266%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2B%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dy%264y%5C%5C3y%262y%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dz%26z%5C%5C6z%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20)
Adding the matrices,
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x+y&9+4y\\12+3y&6+2y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1.5x%2By%269%2B4y%5C%5C12%2B3y%266%2B2y%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dz%26z%5C%5C6z%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%5C%5C%20)
Matrix equality gives,

Solving the equations together,

We can see that the equations are not consistent.
There is no solution.
