Hello!
The number line progresses from negative infinity (extreme left) to positive infinity (extreme right). Beginning at zero, the numbers increase in value as they move to the right and decrease in value as they move to the left.
With this knowledge, we can look at the number 17.2 (a positive number) and conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the right of zero on the number line.
The opposite of 17.2 would be (-17.2). Again, looking at this number (a negative number), we can conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the left of zero on the number line.
I hope this helps!
If the letters are considered distinct, then the number of permutations is
.
If we count either C as the same character, then we would be double-counting - to correct this, we would simply divided by the number of ways we can choose C from the available characters, or
.
The values of x are -22 and -2 and there are not extraneous solutions
<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>
The equation is given as:
2|x + 7|= x - 8
Expand the absolute bracket
|2x + 14|= x - 8
Remove the absolute bracket
2x + 14 = x - 8 and 2x + 14 = -x + 8
Evaluate the like terms
x = -22 and 3x = -6
This gives
x = -22 and x = -2
Hence, the values of x are -22 and -2 and there are not extraneous solutions

Answer:
3-2x=15
Step-by-step explanation:
add 3 to both sides makes -2x=18. divide -2 from both side gets the answer x=-9, so the answer is C, -9
