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
Answer:
x=27.8
Step-by-step explanation:
first, you need to find y. 2y-5=65. 65+5 is 60 and you are left with 2y=70. to get the 2 off of the y you divide everything by 2. 70/2 is 35 therefor y=35. Now you plug that into the other equation (2x+y) and get 2x+35 which is equal to segment 90.6 so 2x+35=90.6. subtract 35 on both sides and you have 2x=55.6. To get the 2 off the x, we divide everything by 2. all of that divided by 2 is x=27.8
42 I think. I'm sorry if I'm wrong.. Hope this helped!!
41.803 is 42 rounded to the nearest whole number because when you go past .5 you round to the nearest highest number, but when your below .5 then you round to the nearest lowest number.
