Question

MEDAL AND FAN

The table below shows two equations:


Equation 1 |3x - 1| + 7 = 2
Equation 2 |2x + 1| + 4 = 3


Which statement is true about the solution to the two equations?

A) Equation 1 and equation 2 have no solutions.

B) Equation 1 has no solution and equation 2 has solutions x = 0, 1.

C) The solutions to equation 1 are x = -1.3, 2 and equation 2 has no solution.

D) The solutions to equation 1 are x = -1.3, 2 and equation 2 has solutions x = 0, 1.

Answer 1

It cannot be c or d because if you plug in -1.3 for x you get 11.9 which does not equal 2
It cannot be b because if you plug 0 in for x you get 5 and 5 does not equal 3 so it has to be a
