Question

l2a+1l=1

Answer 1

12a=-10
a=-10/12
a=-5/6

Answer 2

What do you think the first step to this is? We want to isolate the a on one side of the equation, remember

Answer 3

2a + 1 = 6
2a + 1 = -1

Answer 4

opz i mean 2a + 1 = 1

Answer 5

Not quite. You want to subtract 11 on both sides of the equation, so we would have

12a + 11 - 11 = 1 - 11

12a = 1 - 11

Can you tell me what 1 - 11 would equal?

Answer 6

-10

Answer 7

what on earth are you trying to solve
\[|2a+1|=1\]??

Answer 8

Right, so we have

12a = -10

@satellite73 alien mathematics which we have all done once in our lifetime

Answer 9

thats the equation

Answer 10

that is what it looks like to me
solve two equations \[2a+1=1\] and
\[2a+1=-1\] both take two steps
