Solve the following absolute value equation. −8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14

Mathematics

Levart [38]2 years ago
4 0

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

What is an equation of a line,in point-slope from, that passes through (1, -7) and has a slope of -2/3
il63 [147K]

Answer:

y + 7 = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - \frac{2}{3} and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus

y - (- 7) = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1), that is

y + 7 = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1) ← in point- slope form
