What Is The Other Solution To The Equation Algebra Ll URGENT class=

Sagot :

Given:

The equation is:

[tex]3-2|0.5x+1.5|=2[/tex]

One solution of this equation is -2.

To find:

The another solution of the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]3-2|0.5x+1.5|=2[/tex]

It can be written as:

[tex]-2|0.5x+1.5|=2-3[/tex]

[tex]-2|0.5x+1.5|=-1[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2.

[tex]|0.5x+1.5|=0.5[/tex]

After removing the modulus, we get

[tex]0.5x+1.5=\pm 0.5[/tex]

Case I:

[tex]0.5x+1.5=0.5[/tex]

[tex]0.5x=0.5-1.5[/tex]

[tex]0.5x=-1[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.5.

[tex]x=-2[/tex]

Case II:

[tex]0.5x+1.5=-0.5[/tex]

[tex]0.5x=-0.5-1.5[/tex]

[tex]0.5x=-2[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.5.

[tex]x=-4[/tex]

One solution of the given equation is [tex]x=-2[/tex] and the another one is [tex]x=-4[/tex].

Therefore, the correct option is B.
