Question

The table below shows two equations:

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

Answer 1

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 3

I think it is A

Answer 4

why do you think A

Answer 5

and you chose the correct answer

Answer 6

It's just a guess, I'm not to sure.

Answer 7

well the absolute value means that whatever number you put in, the answer is positive

so looking at the 1st equation and subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation

|3x - 1| = -5

you can't find a value of x that makes the equation true...

its a similar thing in equation 2, so your answer is correct
