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

A restaurant serves custom-made omelets, where guests select meat, cheese, and vegetables to be added to their omelet. There are
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: The number of different combinations of 2 vegetables are possible = 15 .

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mathematics , the number of combinations of selecting r values out of n values = ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Given : Number of available vegetables = 6

Then, the number of different combinations of 2 vegetables are possible will be :

^6C_2=\dfrac{6!}{2!(6-2)!}=\dfrac{6\times5\times4!}{2\times4!}=15

Hence , the number of different combinations of 2 vegetables are possible = 15 .
