|-3n| - 2 = 4 A) 2 or -2 B) 3 or -3 C) 4 or -4 D) 6 or -6

@PFEH.1999 :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

first add +2 to both sides of the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|-3n|-2=4 |-3n|=4+2=6

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

|-3n|= 6 Therefore, 3n = 6 or 3n= -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2 or -2 would give 6 in this case

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Now solve n for both functions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we hava to cases: \( \large \color{red}{(1)} : |-3n| = 6 \) for \( n \ge 0 \) thus \(3n = 6 \) so \( n=2 \) \( \large \color{red}{(2)} : |-3n|=6 \) for \( n < 0 \) so \( -3n = 6 \) so \( n=-2 \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*two cases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, since you said n = 2 or -2, I'm assuming it would be A ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

corrrect ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cool ! THANKS !!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, what kind of music do you like ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

music?! why are u asking this question? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You say you like music so I'm just curious

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aw yes ;) piano mixed with violin ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really? I play electric viola and piano :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wanna help with some more questions ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ |-3n| = |-3||n| = 3|n| \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already got it @wio THANKS though :)
