Hey guys < 33 can someone me with this math question? you if you do : ))
compare and contrast: two equations are listed below. solve each equation and compare the solutions. choose the statement that is true about both solutions.

equation 1 equation 2
|5x + 6| = 41 |2x + 13| = 28
equation 1 has more solutions than equation 2.
equation 1 and equation 2 have the same number of solutions.
equation 2 has more solutions than equation 1.
the number of solutions cannot be determined.

i think c but i don't know : ))

Both of these have the same number of solutions (which is 2)

Remember that |5x + 6| means "the absolute value of the expression '5x + 6'", so in this case, 5x + 6 could equal 41 or -41 since the absolute value would "strip away" the positive or negative sign and leave just the number

So, if you solve:
5x + 6 = 41
5x = 41 - 6 = 35
x = 35 / 5 = 7

5x + 6 = -41
5x = -41 - 6
5x = -47
x = -47 / 5

Do the same thing for the other expression:

2x + 13 = 28
2x = 28 - 13 = 15
x = 15 / 2

2x + 13 = -28
2x = -28 - 13
2x = -41
x = -41 / 2

So, both of these expressions have two solutions.

Hope this helps!

Good luck.

Dm me pls mike and
