help

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

/-4b-8/+/-1-b^2/+b^3 b=-2

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Well, if b = -2 then you just want to plug in the -2 where b is. THen you solve

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

but what about the absolute value im lost

OpenStudy (kevin):

This is absolute value equation?

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

yes / / are the absolute value signs

OpenStudy (kevin):

Hmm.. what grade are you? I have studied equation in my high school. But I'm afraid this is not like that.

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

10th

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

but this is 11th grade math

OpenStudy (kevin):

Here we go |(−4)*(−2)−8|+|−1−(−2)^2|+(−2)^3 =0+5+(-8) =−3

OpenStudy (kevin):

It's 10 grade in my country :D

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

do you mind one more

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

solve the equation check for extraneous solutions 9/9-8x/=2x+3

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

can you help @Kevin

OpenStudy (kevin):

so, we must find x value?

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

yes

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

and check for extraneous solutions whatever that means

OpenStudy (kevin):

Ok wait for a few minute, I'm thirsty :D

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

lol ok

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

are you almost done lol i have one more assignment to do

OpenStudy (kevin):

I know the answer, I just try to type it in formal writing :D

OpenStudy (kevin):

if you want just the answer, i can give it :)

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

i have to show my work

OpenStudy (kevin):

3 minutes :D

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

ok

OpenStudy (kevin):

9|9-8x| = |81 - 72x| (81-72x)= 0 x = 9/8 for x >= 0 -(81-7x)=0 x = 9/8 for x < 0

OpenStudy (kevin):

|81 - 72x| = 2x + 3 i (81 - 72x) = 2x + 3 -74x = -78 x = 39/37 ii -(81 - 72x) = 2x + 3 -81 + 72x = 2x + 3 70x = 84 x = 6/5

OpenStudy (kevin):

So the answer is x = 39/37 or x = 6/5

OpenStudy (kevin):

That's how my teacher teach me in my country, I dunno in your country :/

OpenStudy (kevin):

But although our teacher method is different, the answer will be same

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

where are you from

OpenStudy (kevin):

So what's your other question. I'm going to go sleep after that :D

OpenStudy (kevin):

Indonesia

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

wow lol and this was the last one lol

OpenStudy (kevin):

Lol.., so this has been done right?

OpenStudy (kevin):

I'm going to go sleep now, if you have any question you can pm me :D I study at computer science now.

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

is there an extraneous solution

OpenStudy (kevin):

did you mean this (81-72x)= 0 x = 9/8 for x >= 0 -(81-7x)=0 x = 9/8 for x < 0 I dunno what is extraneous solution since it's using english language. lol

OpenStudy (kevin):

well I'm understand what you mean

OpenStudy (kevin):

since we can plug both of 39/37 and 6/5 in so there are no extraneous solution

OpenStudy (kevin):

you can check 39/37 and 6/5 to the original equation. They will match.
