X + (x+2) = 154
combine like terms
2x + 2 = 154
subtract 2
2x = 154
divide by 2
x = 76

so the two numbers are 76 and 78

“the product of 6 and<br> 9 decreased by 8"

Komok [63]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

“the product of 6 and 9 decreased by 8"

“the product of 6 and 9" = 6 * 9

"decreased by 8" = - 8 (subtract 8 from whatever, in this case 6 * 9)

“the product of 6 and 9 decreased by 8" = 6 * 9 - 8 = 46

9+3|5-x|=24<br><br> What is the lines for and how do I solve X with them?

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the lines represent absolute value bars

$x=0,10$

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: Move all terms not containing |5−x| to the right side of the equation.

$3|5-x|=15$

STEP 2: Divide each term by 3 and simplify.

$|5-x|=5$

STEP 3: Remove the absolute value term. This creates a ± on the right side of the equation because |x|=±x.

<em>5-x=±5</em>

STEP 4: Set up the positive portion of the ± solution.

$5-x=5$

STEP 5: Solve the first equation for x.

$x=0$

STEP 6: Set up the negative portion of the ± solution.

$5-x=-5$

STEP 7: Solve the second equation for x.

$x=10$

NOTE: The solution to the equation includes both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$x=0,10$
