The answer is
D 18 3
I'm pretty sure
Answer:
x = -
, x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function always gives a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
- 3x + 16 = 18 or -(- 3x + 16) = 18
Solving
- 3x + 16 = 18 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
- 3x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = - 
or
-(- 3x + 16) = 18
3x - 16 = 18 ( add 16 to both sides )
3x = 34 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 
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.
| - 3(-
) + 16 | = | 2 + 16 | = | 18 | = 18 ← True
| - 3(
) + 16 | = | - 34 + 16 | = | - 18 | = 18 ← True
Thus x = -
and x =
are the solutions
Equation: 50+15x=200
solution: x= 10
it would take him 10 weeks to purchase the bike he wants.
The two numbers are (7+ sqrt(65))/2 and (7- sqrt(65))/2
(7+ sqrt(65))/2+ (7- sqrt(65))/2= 7
(7+ sqrt(65))/2* (7- sqrt(65))/2)= -4.
Hope this helps~
