Question

Compare and Contrast: Below are two equations. Solve each equation and compare the two solutions. Choose the statement that is true about each solution. (3 points)
Equation #1

Equation #2

|x - 4| = 6

|3x + 12| = 18



Equation #1 and Equation #2 have the same number of solutions.
Equation #1 has more solutions than equation #2.
Equation #1 has fewer solutions than equation #2.
None of the statements above describe the number of solutions to equations show

Answer 1

i think its A

Answer 2

Answer 3

@quickstudent

Answer 4

am i correct?

Answer 5

With these, you're always going to have 2 solutions to my knowledge.

Answer 6

yes i already did them

Answer 7

Then, if both equations have 2 solutions, that would be correct.. yes?

Answer 8

well you have to the the math lol and then tell me if its right -.-

Answer 9

you went to engineering school how do you not know how to do this?

Answer 10

Rude much?

Answer 11

He's trying to help you, and literally you're being mean ;___; he has a hangover too

Answer 12

Okay, you said you solved them and got the answers. And you said that you think it is the correct answer. I can work them out for you though.

\[|x - 4| = 6\]
so
\[x - 4 = 6\]
&
\[x - 4 = -6\]

So for this, \[x = 10 \text{ and } x = -2\]

\[|3x + 12| = 18\]
\[3x + 12 = 18\]
\[3x+ 12 = -18\]
therefore
\[x = -10 \text{ and } x=2\]

Both have 2 answers, so therefore, the first answer choice would be correct.

Answer 13

okay i got the same thing sorry for the wait
