Question

Help please.

Answer 1

\[|2x+4|=(5x+1)-2\]

Answer 2

First case:
2x + 4 = (5x +1) -2
7x = 5
x = 5/7
Second case:
2x + 4 = (-5x -1) + 2
7x = -3
x = -3/7

Answer 3

The (5x+1) is not inside modulus right?

Answer 4

These are the multiple choice answers..
A. { }
B. {5/3}
C. {-1, 5/3}
D. {1/3, 5/3, -1}

Answer 5

@M4thM1nd

Answer 6

the (5x+1) is inside a modulus?

Answer 7

I dont know what that means..

Answer 8

it is not this you want to solve right? |2x+4|=|5x+1|−2

Answer 9

No

Answer 10

(5x+1) is only like this

Answer 11

oh sorry i did a mistake

Answer 12

First case:
2x + 4 = (5x +1) -2
3x = 5
x = 5/3
Second case:
2x + 4 = (-5x -1) + 2
7x = -3
x = -3/7

Answer 13

as the second one is not a valid solution, teh answer is B

Answer 14

{5/3}

Answer 15

you sure?

Answer 16

Yep

Answer 17

Thanks.

Answer 18

do you understand why the second solution is not valid?

Answer 19

As we have |2x+4|=(5x+1)-2
(5x+1)-2 >=0
5x >= 1
x >= 1/5

The second solution is x = -3/7 which is less than 1/5 and that is why this solution is not valid

Answer 20

thanks
