OpenStudy (anonymous):

it looks ok so your good it think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

might want ot double chekc number 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and number 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

absolute values can be broken up into 2 equations \[|x| = n\] is the equivalent of \[x=n \] and \[-(x)= n\]

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

Okay checking now

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

So for #3 I should put this as the answer? Y = 3 Y = -3 ?

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

Same thing for #4? S <= 3 S <= -3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{|3s-4|}{2} \le 2.5\] \[{|3s-4|} \le 5\] 2 inequalities \[3s-4 \le 5\] and \[-(3s-4)\le 5\] solve for both

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

First one is s <= 3 and the second one s => -1/3 Is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by the looks of it

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

AWesome c: Was #3 right?

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

@completeidiot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope try substituting -3 into the equation

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

My revised answer was wrong or the original?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's a revised answer?

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

Yes I said Y = 3 Y = -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like i said, try plugging both those solutions in and see if it makes the equation true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will say this, 10 is definitely not equal to 12

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

Well its not 3 and its not 2, is it a fraction?

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

wait is it 4 and -4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SIGHHH stop guessing and just solve it...

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

I'm trying to solve it but nothing is working

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5+ |2y+1|=12 subtract 5 from both sides |2y+1| = 7 now break up the absolute value into 2 equations 2y+1 = 7 & -(2y+1)=7 now solve for both y

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

2y + 1 = 7 -1 -1 2y = 6 divide 2 divide 2 y = 3 -(2y + 1) = 7 -2y - 1 = 7 + 1 +1 -2y = 8 divide by -2 divide by -2 y = -4 So the answer is y = 3 and y = -4?

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

@completeidiot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

AWesome c: You said everything else is correct?
