Remember
if |x|=y
assume
x=y and -x=y or
x=y and x=-y

so

-6|2x-9|+1=-17
minus 1 from both sides
-6|2x-9|=-18
divide both sides by -6
|2x-9|=3
assume
2x-9=3 and2x-9=-3
solve

2x-9=3
add 9
2x=12
divide 2
x=6

2x-9=-3
add 9
2x=6
divide 2
x=3


x=3 and/or 6

What is slope-intercept form? <br> Why do we write equations using this form?
Brums [2.3K]
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept

the slope is the rate of change of the graph, basically rise/run (change in y divided by change in x)

the y intercept is where the graph intercepts the y axis





we usually use this form because we can find the slope and find where it hits the y axis.
there are other forms that may be helpful later on, but this one is usually the easiest form to find from a graph

) Aubrey can walk 4 1/2 miles in 1/2 hours. Find the average speed in miles per hour.
Irina-Kira [14]
I think the answer is 5 because you add the 1/2 and the other 1/2 leave the for alone that will give you 5 Example: 1/2+1/2=1+4=5

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

8x=32\\2y=-24

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for 1 variable, set the other to 0 and solve.

3x-y(0)=12\\3x=12\\x=4\\4*8=32\\8x=32\\\\3(0)-y=12\\-y=12\\y=-12\\-12*2=-24\\2y=-24
