Algebra.Com's Answer #42769 by hotrodd(18)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are two answeres for each question.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Problem #1: \n" ); document.write( "First, what we do is that we get everything that is not in the absolute value to the other side, so we subtract both sides by 4 and we divide eache side by 3, to get |5n + 1|=3. Because it is in absolute value, it can equal positive or negative 3. So we solve for positive 3 and then negative 3.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5n+1=3 subtract both sides by 1 \n" ); document.write( "5n=2 divide both sides by 5 \n" ); document.write( "n= 2/5\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5n+1=-3 subtract both sides by 1 \n" ); document.write( "5n=-4 divide both sides by 5 \n" ); document.write( "n= -4/5\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "THE ANSWER IS: n= 2/5 and -4/5\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Problem #2: \n" ); document.write( "Simplify the equation like we did in problem #1. After doing that you should get the equation to look like |2-3t|= -4. But it is impossible to have the absolute value to be a negative so there isn't an answer. It is undefined. \n" ); document.write( " |
