Solve each absolute value equation
2=|x|-1

x = ±3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 = |x| - 1

Add 1 to both sides:  |x| = 3

⇒ x = ±3

Solution:

Remember, the number inside the absolute value bars will always be positive. This means that if -5 is between two bars, it will become 5.

Let's review 2 ways that this equation can go through:

Hence, the measure of x is ±3.

answer:

3 bags of apples and 2 bags of oranges.

step-by-step explanation:

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
