Solve for |2x + 4|-1=7

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rudik [331]3 years ago

Answer:

x = - 6 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function always returns a positive value. However, the expression inside can be positive or negative.

Given

| 2x + 4 | - 1 = 7 ( add 1 to both sides )

| 2x + 4 | = 8, thus

2x + 4 = 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

OR

-(2x + 4) = 8

- 2x - 4 = 8 ( add 4 to both sides )

- 2x = 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 6

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 = 2 → | 4 + 4 | - 1 = | 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True

x = - 6 → | - 12 + 4 | - 1 = | - 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True

Hence the solutions are x = - 6 or x = 2

How to estimate 96 Times 34 what is the answer
Marrrta [24]

When it says to estimate, I always think of doing it by hand to show work.  So set it up like this:

  96

<u>x 34</u>

So follow it out multiplying across 4*6 and 4*9 carrying over as needed to get it to look like this:

  96

<u>x 34</u>

384


Do the same for the 3 to get this:

  96

<u>x 34</u>

  384

2880

Add 384+2880=3264

Your final answer is 3,264
