Solve the following equation |2x+3|+|x-2|=6x

Answers

Answer 1

Recall the definition of absolute value:

• |x| = x if x ≥ 0

• |x| = -x if x < 0

So you need to consider 4 different cases (2 absolute value expressions with 2 possible cases each).

(i) Suppose 2x + 3 < 0 and x - 2 < 0. The first inequality says x < -3/2 and the second says x < 2, so ultimately x < -3/2. Then

|2x + 3| + |x - 2| = 6x

-(2x + 3) - (x - 2) = 6x

-2x - 3 - x + 2 = 6x

-3x - 1 = 6x

9x = -1

x = -1/9

But -1/9 is not smaller than -3/2, so this case provides no valid solution.

(ii) Suppose 2x + 3 ≥ 0 and x - 2 < 0. Then x ≥ -3/2 and x < 2, or -3/2 ≤ x < 2. Under this condition,

|2x + 3| + |x - 2| = 6x

(2x + 3) - (x - 2) = 6x

2x + 3 - x + 2 = 6x

x + 5 = 6x

5x = 5

x = 1

This solution is valid because it does fall in the interval -3/2 ≤ x < 2.

(iii) Suppose 2x + 3 < 0 and x - 2 ≥ 0. Then x < -3/2 or x ≥ 2. So

|2x + 3| + |x - 2| = 6x

-(2x + 3) + (x - 2) = 6x

-2x - 3 + x - 2 = 6x

-x - 5 = 6x

7x = -5

x = -5/7

This isn't a valid solution, because neither -5/7 < -3/2 nor -5/7 ≥ 2 are true.

(iv) Suppose 2x + 3 ≥ 0 and x - 2 ≥ 0. Then x ≥ -3/2 and x ≥ 2, or simply x ≥ 2.

|2x + 3| + |x - 2| = 6x

(2x + 3) + (x - 2) = 6x

2x + 3 + x - 2 = 6x

3x + 1 = 6x

3x = 1

x = 1/3

This is yet another invalid solution since 1/3 is smaller than 2.

So there is one solution at x = 1.

Among 320 randomly selected airline travelers, the mean number of hours spent travelling per year is 24 hours and the standard deviation is 2. 9. What is the margin of error, assuming a 90% confidence level? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

The margin of error of the random selection is 0.29

The given parameters are:

[tex]n = 320[/tex] --- the sample size

[tex]\sigma = 2.9[/tex] --- the standard deviation

[tex]\bar x = 24[/tex] --- the mean

[tex]\alpha = 90\%[/tex] --- the confidence level.

The margin of error (E) is calculated as follows:

[tex]E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2}{n}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{3.2^2}{320}}[/tex]

[tex]E = z \times \sqrt{\frac{10.24}{320}}[/tex]

The z-value for 90% confidence level is 1.645.

Substitute 1.645 for z

[tex]E = 1.645 \times \sqrt{\frac{10.24}{320}}[/tex]

[tex]E = 1.645 \times \sqrt{0.032}[/tex]

Take square roots

[tex]E = 1.645 \times 0.1789[/tex]

Multiply

[tex]E = 0.2943[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]E = 0.29[/tex]

Hence, the margin of error is 0.29

for 1. The addition property of equality esssentially means that if you were to add/subtract the same value to both sides of the equation, the equation would remain equal. this would be associated with 3. since adding 12 to both sides would give x on one side and 16 on the other which is equal to x=16

for 2. "given" just means the problem, so it is the 1st option. it just means "given the problem..."

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a 90˚ angle so subtract 61 from 90, which is 29.

Then add 31 to that 29, which would come out to 60.

60 divided by 6 to isolate the variable would come to 10.

Check your answer by multiplying 10 by 6, subtract the 31, and lastly add the 61 to get back to your 90.

Here's how:

Now, on the left hand side, the 12 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.
