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

1. If you wanted to make a triangle with side lengths of 3 units, 3 units, and 4
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Since 4 is the largest number its the hypotenuse. The two 3s are equal so they are interchangeable so it doesn't matter where you put them. If its a right triangle the hypotenuse is opposite the right angle.

Solve the following system using the substitution method.
Liono4ka [1.6K]
X = (15 - 8y)/9

-5[(15 - 8y)/9] + 12y = -107

(-75/9) + (40/9) + 12y = -107

y = -8.59

x = [15 - 8(-8.59)]/9

x = 9.3
(x,y) = (9.3, -8.59)
