Short Answer: Combine like terms
Remark
Just from what I see here, remove the brackets first and combine like terms second.

8 - 2x + 4 The like therms are 8 and 4 First step
12 - 2x That's the answer. Don't go any further. 2nd and last step
Answer: No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The red line is y=3x+7 and the blue line is y=3x+2
The lines do not intersect at any time. Therefore, this set of equations has no solution. I hope this helps! Pls mark brainliest!! :)
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
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<em>m∠</em>2 and <em>m∠</em>1 are congruent by the Corresponding Angles Theorem; we set both expressions equal to each other:
[80 - x]° = [90 - 2x]°
+ x° + x°
______________
80° = [90 - x]°
-90° - 90°
__________
−10° = [−x]°
