And this one is troubling me.
3x^0 - 2(x - 3^0) - |-11 - 2| = 4x(2-5^0) - 7x
please help. Thanks
I don't know if you are aware of this, but anything to the "zero power" = 1 and the vertical lines indicate absolute value (regardless of sign). So this translates to:
1 - 2(x - 1) - 13 = 4x - 7x
You shoulld be able to handle the equation form here.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To solve the equation, let's simplify it step by step:
1. Apply exponents:
3x^0 = 3(1) = 3
3 - 2(x - 1) - 13 = 4x - 7x
2. Simplify inside parentheses:
- 2(x - 1) = -2x + 2
The equation becomes:
3 - 2x + 2 - 13 = 4x - 7x
3. Combine like terms on each side:
-11 - 2x = -3x
4. Move all the terms with x to one side and constants to the other side:
-11 + 3x = -3x + 2x
Simplifying:
3x + 3x = 11
5. Combine like terms on each side:
6x = 11
6. Divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:
x = 11/6
So the solution to the equation is x = 11/6.
I hope this clear explanation helps you understand the steps taken to solve the equation. Let me know if you have any further questions!
