This is unreadable try submitting a more clear picture. i can bairly read the first problem i think it says 8(3x+4)=2(17x????)
if / means absolute value, then the answer is -3. The absolute value of 3 is 3, then you take the negative value of it, which is -3.
Btw, the absolute sign is ||, not //.
80% of what is 56
0.80x = 56
x = 56 / 0.80
x = 70....so he attempted 70 free throws
