Questions~
1. Solve:
| x | = 6
|6|=6 and |-6|=6
x must be 6 or -6
2. Solve:
| x + 7 | = 12
(x+7)=12 and -(x+7)=12
x+7=12 and -x-7=12
x= 5 and -19=x
The the solution is x = {–19, 5}
3. Solve:
| 3x - 4 | = 32
(3x-4)=32 and -(3x-4)=23
3x+4=32 and -3x+4=32
X=12 and x= -28/3
the solution is x = {-28/3, 12}
4. Solve:
5|2x + 1 | = 55
Divide both side by 5: |2x+1|=6.111111111111111
2x+1=6.111111111111111
+1 +1
2x = 7.11111111111
X=7
and
2x+1= -6.111111111111111
+1 +1
2x = -5.11111111111 x=-6
the solution is x = {-6, 7}
These questions I couldn't figure out could you please show me how to do them?
5. Solve:
1/2|4x – 8| - 7 = 3
6. Evaluate the given expressions when a = 3, b = -3, c = 4, and d = -1.
c|a-b| + d
7. Evaluate the given expressions when a = 3, b = -3, c = 4, and d = -1.
a|b-d| + ad
8. Evaluate the given expressions when a = 3, b = -3, c = 4, and d = -1
(a/c)|c| + b – d

#3
your connective should be OR
how can a number be 12 and -28/3
#4
5|2x + 1 | = 55
|2x + 1 | = 11
2x+1 = 11 OR -2x-1 = 11
2x = 10 or -2x = 12
x = 5 or x = -6
5. Solve:
1/2|4x – 8| - 7 = 3
5. Solve:
1/2|4x – 8| = 10
5. Solve:
|4x – 8| = 20
4x-8 = 20 or -4x + 8 = 20
x = 7 or x = -3
a = 3, b = -3, c = 4, and d = -1
#6
c|a-b| + d
= -1|3 - (-3)|
= -1|6) = -6
#7
a|b-d| + ad
= 3|-3-(-1)| + 3(-1)
= 3(2) - 3
= 3
You do the last one in the same way
