don't be alarmed the two lines just mean absolute value, the problem is asking what is m. the problem is asking what number multipyed by 2, subtracted by 1 will give you 3?

2x2=4 right?

so 4-1=3 there!

m=4

so the problem is 2(4)-1=3

i hope i explained well enough!

|2m-1| = 3 is an absolute value equation and as such translates into two separate, different equations.  Just suppose that the quantity 2m-1 is already positive; then the absolute value operator has no effect on 2m-1.  Thus, in this first case,

2m - 1 = 3, or 2m = 4, or m = 2.  This is one of the two solutions of this absolute value equation.

The other case is where the quantity 2m-1 is negative.  Applying the absolute value operator to this results in -(2m-1), or -2m+1.  We then write -2m+1=3.  Subtracting 1 from both sides of this eqn results in -2m= 2, or m= -1.  This is the 2nd solution of the absolute value equation.

Thus, your solution set is {-1, 2}.

Solve the equation below for x:<br><br><br> 0.25(x - 13) = 7
VikaD [51]

Answer:

x=41

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25(x-13)=7

We move all terms to the left:

0.25(x-13)-(7)=0

We multiply parentheses

0.25x-3.25-7=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

0.25x-10.25=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

0.25x=10.25

x=10.25/0.25

x=41
