Answer:
The solutions of the equation |2 x-3|=17
are x=10
and x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations is |2 x-3|=17.
It is required to find out the values of x satisfying the given equation.
To find it out, use the fact that the solution of this type of equation is 2x-3=17.
Or 2x-3=-17 and simplify the equations using simple mathematical operations.
Step 1 of 2
Solve the equation 2x-3=17,
Add 3 on both sides of the equation 2x-3=17,
2x-3+3=17+3
2x=20
Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation 2x=20,
Step 2 of 2
Solve the equation 2x-3=-17,
Add 3 on both sides of the equation 2x-3=-17,
Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation 2x=-14,
Ok, so this one requires you to set up an equation that makes sense....(mr. Smith + mr. Harry)/2= 489...that is the average money from the problem....ok so let’s add some variables now and make it look like math. 2x is mr smith from the first sentence. X is mr. Harry. This yields
(2x+x)/2=489.....use inverse operations to yield
2x+x=978
Combine like terms to get
3x=978
Then divide by 3
To give you x=326
What does x tell you?
X= harry = 326
2x = Smith = 652
To check add them together and divide by 2 to get the average....489
(2x+x)/2=489.....use inverse operations to yield
2x+x=978
Combine like terms to get
3x=978
Then divide by 3
To give you x=326
What does x tell you?
X= harry = 326
2x = Smith = 652
To check add them together and divide by 2 to get the average....489
