Since this is an absolute value equation, it will have two answers. For the first answer, take away the absolute value bars and solve 3x + 1 = 2. Subtract 1 from both sides to get 3x = 1 and divide each side by 3 to get x = 1/3. Now onto the second solution. This time, take away the absolute value bars and make the other side of the equation, the 2, negative, to get 3x + 1 = -2. Now solve this by subtracting 1 from each side to get 3x = -3 and divide each side to get the other answer which is x = -1. The answer is x = -1 or 1/3, hope this helps!
What you need to do is find the greatest amount (1) and the lowest amount (1/4) of sap collected and the find how many times the lowest can go into the greatest. (So how many times can 1/4 go into 1). I believe that this is how you would do that.
If you divide two hundred and thirty-six by four, you have fifty-nine groups; each consisting of three boys and one girl. If you multiply fifty-nine by three, you are presented with the number of boys- one hundred and seventy seven. (:
Answer:
The perpendicular slope is -4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular slopes multiply to -1
m * 3/4 = -1
Multiply each side by 4/3
m * 3/4 *4/3 = -1 * 4/3
m = -4/3
The perpendicular slope is -4/3
