The absolute value of -1/3 is 1/3. I guess by using the number line you move 2(1/3) to the right from the point -1/3
Answer:
x = -1/2 x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x( x+1.5) = -1
Distribute
2x^2 + 3x = -1
Add 1 to each side
2x^2 +3x+1 = 0
Factor
(2x+1) (x+1) =0
Using the zero product property
2x+1 = 0 x+1=0
2x = -1 x=-1
x = -1/2 x=-1
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
3(5+x)
3(5)+3(x)
15+3x
B and C are out because those numbers are too high. A is out for 2 reasons. 1) 5x5 is 25, not 5x3 and 2) a negative times a positive is negative.
So the answer is D
