Question

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?
Equation 1 and equation 2 have no solutions.

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

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

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

Answer 1

hlep

Answer 2

Simplify them like this :
|3x - 1| = -5
|2x + 1| = -1
we know that |.| is always positive, what can you deduce ?

Answer 3

is b

Answer 4

What's the reason ?

Answer 5

dont know please help

Answer 6

|3x - 1| and |2x + 1| are both positive and -1 and -5 both negative. A positive number can not equal a negative number. Do you get what I mean ?

Answer 7

what is that anwer please
or help

Answer 9

| 3x - 1 | + 7 = 2 --- subtract 7 from both sides
| 3x - 1 | = 2 - 7
| 3x - 1 | = - 5

(3x - 1) = -5
3x = -5 + 1
3x = -4
x = -4/3 which equals -1.3

-(3x - 1) = -5
-3x + 1 = -5
-3x = -5 - 1
-3x = -6
x = 2

solution to 1 is : 2 and -1.3

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

(2x + 1) = -1
2x = -1-1
2x = -2
x = -1

-(2x + 1) = -1
-2x - 1 = -1
-2x = -1 + 1
-2x = 0
x = 0

solution to 2 is : -1 and 0

answer to question is D

Answer 10

@texaschic101 That's unfortunately not the correct answer. |2x + 1| and |3x - 1| are both positive. And since -5 and -1 are negative, both equations don't have a solution.
