Answer:

x=18 x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2|x-6|+14=38

The first step is to isolate the absolute value

Subtract 14 from each side

2|x-6|+14-14=38-14

2|x-6|=24

Divide by 2 on each side

2/2|x-6|=24/2

|x-6| = 12

Now we can seperate the absolute value into two parts, the positive and the negative

x-6 =12 x-6 = -12

Add 6 to each side

x-6+6 =12+6 x-6+6 = -12+6

x=18 x= -6

Hey!

Alright, the first step to solving this division problem would be to convert the mixed fraction into a simple fraction. To do that, we'll multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add that total to the numerator.

Original Fraction :
$3 \frac{3}{4}$

New Fraction {Changed by Conversion} :
$\frac{15}{4}$

Now that we've successfully done that we'll have to change the equation.

Old Equation :
$\frac{15}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{8}$ = ?

New Equation {Changed by Flipping the Second Fraction and the Symbol} :
$\frac{15}{4}$ · $\frac{8}{2}$ = ?

Now we multiply straight across.

Old Equation :
$\frac{15}{4}$ · $\frac{8}{2}$ = ?

Solved :
$\frac{120}{8}$

Almost done!
Now we have to simplify the fraction.

Old Fraction :
$\frac{120}{8}$

New Fraction {Changed by Simplification} :
$\frac{15}{1}$

Now just convert it to a whole number by removing the fraction line and the number, and that's it!

So, $3 \frac{3}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{8}$ equals 15.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For Function 2

x=1 y=8

x=2 y=11

8=m+b

11=2m+b

11-8=2m-m
