Where are you stuck?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just want to know if i have the right answer on the first one? Is it C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And for the second one I think it is A but I need to make sure because I am getting graded on this!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im right?!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

For the first one, yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the solution set {-1,4}?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

There's some mistake in ques 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

There's some mistake in ques 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? cam i u tell me what letter it is please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

When we solve 3x+1 = 5 We get x = 4/3 And none of your options have 4/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i looked online and it said the correct answer was A: {-1,4} this is absolute value, not just a regular equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u didn't do the ABSOLUTE VALUE OF THE EQUATION

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

But still, the way of solving is similar.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

AH! KILLL ME!! OMG!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Soo sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
