Solve the following equations and inequalities from the image, including integer solutions for |2x - 1| ≤ x + 3.

Solution

Let me analyze the questions in the image and provide solutions.


Question 6:

Solve the following equations:

(1) 13x+5=013x + 5 = 0

  • Rearranging: 13x=513x = -5 x=513x = \frac{-5}{13} Therefore, x=513x = -\frac{5}{13}.

(2) 2x+1=52x + 1 = 5

  • Rearranging: 2x=512x = 5 - 1 2x=42x = 4 x=42x = \frac{4}{2} So, x=2x = 2.

Question 7:

Solve the following inequalities:

(1) 2x35|2x - 3| \geq 5

This is an absolute value inequality. We split it into two cases:

  1. 2x352x - 3 \geq 5 2x82x \geq 8 x4x \geq 4

  2. 2x352x - 3 \leq -5 2x22x \leq -2 x1x \leq -1

The solution is x1x \leq -1 or x4x \geq 4.

(2) 12x+1<51 \leq |2x + 1| < 5

We split the absolute value into two inequalities and solve them separately:

For 2x+11|2x + 1| \geq 1:

  1. 2x+112x + 1 \geq 1 2x02x \geq 0 x0x \geq 0

  2. 2x+112x + 1 \leq -1 2x22x \leq -2 x1x \leq -1

For 2x+1<5|2x + 1| < 5: 5<2x+1<5-5 < 2x + 1 < 5 Subtract 1 from all sides: 6<2x<4-6 < 2x < 4 Divide by 2: 3<x<2-3 < x < 2

Thus, the solution for 12x+1<51 \leq |2x + 1| < 5 is x[3,1][0,2)x \in [-3, -1] \cup [0, 2).


Question 8:

Given that xx is an integer and 2x1x+3|2x - 1| \leq x + 3, find how many solutions there are.

We need to solve 2x1x+3|2x - 1| \leq x + 3, which can be split into two cases:

  1. 2x1x+32x - 1 \leq x + 3 2xx3+12x - x \leq 3 + 1 x4x \leq 4

  2. (2x1)x+3-(2x - 1) \leq x + 3 (which simplifies to 2x+1x+3-2x + 1 \leq x + 3): 2xx31-2x - x \leq 3 - 1 3x2-3x \leq 2 x23x \geq -\frac{2}{3}

Since xx is an integer, the valid solutions for xx are 1,0,1,2,3,4-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Thus, there are 6 solutions.


Do you have any questions or would you like more details on any part of the solution?


Here are 5 related questions to expand on this topic:

  1. How do you solve inequalities involving absolute values?
  2. What is the difference between "greater than" and "greater than or equal to" in inequalities?
  3. How can we graph solutions to inequalities on a number line?
  4. What are the properties of absolute value equations?
  5. How can inequalities be applied in real-world problems?

Tip: When solving absolute value inequalities, always consider both positive and negative cases, as the absolute value function creates two different scenarios.
