Hey there!

ORIGINAL EQUATION:
|x + 2| = 3

TRANSLATE:

x + 2 = 3 or x + 2 = -3


SOLVING for: x + 2 = 3

SUBTRACT 2 to BOTH SIDES

x + 2 - 2 = 3 - 2

CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it give you 1

KEEP: 3 - 2 because help solve for the current x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = 3 - 2

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 1


Thus, your answer is: x = 2

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\


SOLVING for: x + 2 = -3

SUBTRACT 2 to BOTH SIDES

x + 2 - 2 = -3 - 2

CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it give you 0

KEEP: -3 - 2 because it help solve for the current x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = -3 - 2

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = -5

Thus, your answer is: x = -5

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\


Therefore, your answer is: x = 1 or x = -5


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

How do you divide decimals? Ex: 3.6÷0.5 plz help!!
KiRa [710]

here's the way that i learned it:

convert them to mixed fractions and then go from there.

3.6 = 36/10 0.5 = 1/2

right now our problem looks like this: 36/10 ÷ 1/2 =

okay, so i learned the method keep it, switch it, flip it.

keep the first fraction in the equation, 36/10

switch the division sign to multiplication ÷ ⇒ ×

switch the numbers on the second fraction  1/2 ⇒ 2/1

okay, so our equation looks like this now:

36/10 x 2/1

okay, so now multiply across. (multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together)

72/10

latly, we need to convert back to a decimal. divide the top number by the bottom one.

to do this, divide the top number by the bottom number

72/10

7.2

<em>i hope this was helpful. this is how i learned dividing with decimals, so it might be kinda complicated. if you still need help, let me know :)</em>
