Josefina started to solve for x in the equation 3.5 = 1.9 – 0.8|2x – 0.6| using the steps below: 3.5 = 1.9 – 0.8|2x – 0.6| 1.6 = –0.8|2x – 0.6| –2 = |2x – 0.6| why did josefina stop at step 3?

She stopped because:
| 2 x - 0.6 | ≠ -2 . It is absolute value and it can´t be equal to the negative number.
This equation has no solution.

I'll do the first one for you. it isn't very hard at all.on number one, you have (50 × 3), which equals 150, and (3 × 3), which equals 9. after you establish that, you add 150 and 9 together. so, (150 + 9) equals 159.this means that 53 × 3 = 159.
