| 2x + 9 | = 15
Help pls

x = 3 and x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve an absolute value equation, you create two equations, one where the right side is negated and one where the right side isn't:

| 2x + 9 | = 15 becomes:

2x + 9 = 15 and 2x + 9 = -15

2x = 6 and 2x = -24

x = 3 and x = -12

Why this works is that |-x| and |x| will both be equal to 0. Remember that absolute value is the distance a number is away from 0.

step-by-step explanation:

center (1,3) with radius 6

step-by-step explanation:

we must complete the square to find the center and radius of the circle.

first make sure the x and y squared terms have 1 as their coefficients. we also make sure x and y terms together.

we now create space between the x and y terms with parenthesis.

we complete the square by taking the middle terms -2x and the -6y - divide each and square them.

we add the squares to both sides.

simplify.

and write the quadratics in factored form.

the center is (h,k) or (1,3). the radius is the square root of 36 which is 6.
