Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

20-[(x-19)+(x+17)]

=20-2x+2

=22-2x

As AB+BC=AC, 22-2x=0.

Thus 2x=22

x=11

it should be right

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Write the absolute value inequality in the form
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

|x - 1 |> 6,

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the distance between the two points

-5 to 7

7 - -5 =7+5 = 12

We find 1/2 that distance

12/2 = 6

So we are looking for a greater-than inequality  because we are looking for the outsides because we want a less than and a greater than

|x - b |> c,

The center is 6 to that is c

|x - b |> 6,

To find the value of b

Let x = 7

7 -b =6

b=1

|x - 1 |> 6,

We can check by using -5

|-5 - 1 |> 6,

Solve the system using elimination.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

After simplifying we get (x,y) as (1,3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x+7y=22,

x-7y=-17

We need to use elimination method to solve the and simplify the equations.

Solution;

Let x+7y=22 ⇒ equation 1

Also Let 4x-7y=-17⇒ equation 2

Now by solving the equation we get;

first we will Add equation 2 from equation 1 we get;

(x+7y)+(4x-7y)=22+(-17)\\\\x+7y+4x-7y=22-17\\\\5x=5

Now Dividing  both side by 5 using division property of equality we get;

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{5}{5}\\\\x=1

Now Substituting the vale of x in equation 1 we get;

x+7y=22\\\\1+7y=22

subtracting both side by 1 using subtraction property of equality we get;

1+7y-1=22-1\\\\7y=21

Now Dividing  both side by 7 using division property of equality we get;

\frac{7y}{7}=\frac{21}{7}\\\\y=3

Hence we can say that, After simplifying we get (x,y) as (1,3).
