Answer:
Morgan divided 2 throughout the original equation, giving her |x-3.5|=2.5.
x = 6 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
|2x-7|=5 -- divide by 2
|x-3.5|=2.5 and |x-3.5|=-2.5 -- since this is an absolute value equation, we have to consider both positive and negative
x-3.5 = 2.5
x = 6
x-3.5 = -2.5
x = 1
B because you are looking for an equation in the problem so if it starts at 16 and you are adding 2 gallons per hour you get 16+2x. Then for the other tank you start with 20 gallons and you are loosing 3 gallons per hour so you get 20-3x. To solve the equation you make them = each other so then you have 16+2x=20-3x.
