Question

question 2
given the equation |250x + 50| = 4300, what are the solutions? select all that apply.
□ x = -16.8
□ x = 17
□ x = 17.4
□ x = 16.8
□ x = -17
□ x = -17.4

Explanation:

Step1: Split absolute value equation

$250x + 50 = 4300$ or $250x + 50 = -4300$

Step2: Solve first equation

Subtract 50: $250x = 4300 - 50 = 4250$
Divide by 250: $x = \frac{4250}{250} = 16.8$

Step3: Solve second equation

Subtract 50: $250x = -4300 - 50 = -4350$
Divide by 250: $x = \frac{-4350}{250} = -17.4$

Answer:

$x=-17.4$, $x=16.8$
