The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.

For the equation
-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14
rearrange terms to get
|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4
Now,
• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that
-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
In the first case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4
<em>x</em> = 37/8
In the second case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4
<em>x</em> = 3/8
The equation of a
circle is:
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
The equation of a
parabola is:
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)
The equation of an
ellipse is:

where variables a and b and the two different measurements of the vertices
The equation of a
hyperbola is:

if it is with a horizontal transverse axis

if it is with a vertical transverse axis
Notice these have a subtraction operation, the exact opposite ellipse.
His speed is 8 miles an hour. 2/3 x 12/1 = 24/3 = 8
The values go up by 2. So your answer would be 20.
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
M is 24 degrees and so assuming that x is almost on the line m is. I would pick 24 because X is almost on the same line as M
