Question

Which statement is true about the solution to the two equations? (1 point)

|3x - 1| + 7 = 2 and |2x + 1| + 4 = 3
-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 1

the first statement is correct

Explanation:

l3x - 1| + 7 = 2 and |2x + 1| + 4 = 3

-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 2

The first statement is true, because
|3x-1|+7=2 => |3x-1| = -5 (There is no solution. The absolute value is always positive, or zero).
|2x+1| +4=3 => |2x+1|=-1 (There is no solution either, for the same reason).
