Since, this is an absolute value expression. We know that there is going to be 2 solutions.

We know that either 5x + 2 = 8 and 5x + 2 = -8 are the solutions.

Steps to solve:

5x + 2 = 8

~Subtract 2 to both sides

5x + 2 - 2 = 8 - 2

~Simplify

5x = 6

~Divide 5 to both sides

5x/5 = 6/5

~Simplify

x = 6/5

Steps to solve:

5x + 2 = -8

~Subtract 2 to both sides

5x + 2 - 2 = -8 - 2

~Simplify

5x = -10

~Divide 5 to both sides

5x/5 = -10/5

~Simplify

x = -2

Best of Luck!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

|5x+2|=8

Note that

|x|=x for ×>0

|x|=-x for ×<0.

So, for the first case

|5x+2|=8

5x+2=8

5x=8-2

5x=6

x=6/5

Also, the second aspect.

|5x+2|=8

-(5x+2)=8

Divide both side by -

5x+2=-8

5x=-8-2

5x=-10

x=-10/2

x=-5

Solve for x. 45(15x+20)−7x=56(12x−24)+6
Nady [450]

Answer:

The value of the equation for x is x=\frac{1119}{2} or 559.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

45(15x+20)-7x=56(12x-24)+6

We need to solve the equation for x.

Use the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

45(15x+20)-7x=56(12x-24)+6

675x+900-7x=672x-1344+6

Add the like terms.

668x+900=672x-1338

Isolate the variable as shown:

672x-668x=900+1338

4x=2238

x=\frac{2238}{4}

x=\frac{1119}{2}

Hence, the value of the equation for x is x=\frac{1119}{2} or 559.5.

Find the value of y so that WX is perpendicular to YZ
Alexxandr [17]

step 1

Find out the slope WX

W(2,-3) and X(-4,9)

m=(9+3)/(-4-2)

m=12/-6

m=-2

step 2

Find out the slope YZ

Y(5,y) and Z(-1,1)

m=(1-y)/(-1-5)

m=(1-y)/-6

m=(y-1)/6

step 3

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular

then

their slopes are negative reciprocal

that means

(y-1)/6=1/2 -----> because the negative reciprocal of -2 is 1/2

solve for y

2y-2=6

2y=6+2

2y=8

<h2>y=4</h2>
