|3x+1|-1=8

Please help me ASAP

x = -10/3 and 8/3

Add 1 to both sides:

∣3x+1∣=8+1

There are two equations:

3x+1=9  and -(3x+1)=9

Solve the first one:

3x+1=9  

3x=9−1

3x=8

x=8/3

Solve the second one:

-(3x+1)=9

−3x−1=9

−3x=9+1

−3x=10

x=-10/3

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.

step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
