Question

The table below shows two equations:

Equation 1 |2x - 3| + 5 = 4
Equation 2 15x + 31 – 10 = 3
Which statement is true about the solution to the two equations?

Answer 1

First x=-2

Second x= -11.94

Explanation:

1 |2x-3|+5=4

2x+3+5=4

2x+8=4

2x=-4

Divide by 2 for both parties

X = -2

Number 2

215x +31-10=3

215x+21=3

215x= -18

Divide by 215 on both sides

X= - 11.94
