Question

Given the functions h(x) = 1/2x + 3 and j(x) = |x|, which value of x makes h(x) = j(x)?

(1) - 2
(2) 2
(3) 3
(4) -6

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

just had the same question

Answer 2

(1) or A or whatever lol

Explanation:

basically just plug the number in, set them equal to each other, and see if the equation is true...

1/2(-2)+3=|-2|

-1+3=2

2=2

1/2(2)+3=|2|

1+3=2

4=2

1/2(3)+3=|3|

1.5+3=3

4.5=3

1/2(-6)+3=|-6|

-3+3=6

0=6

the only one that is a true statement is x=-2
