Assume
if |a|=b
a=b and -a=b

so

9|9-8x|=2x+3
divide both sides by 9
|9-8x|=2/9x+1/3
assume
9-8x=2/9x+1/3 and
-9+8x=2/9x+1/3


9-8x=2/9x+1/3
times 9 both sides
81-72x=2x+3
add 72x both sides
81=74x+3
minus 3
78=74x
divide both sides by 74
39/37=x

other one
-9+8x=2/9x+1/3
multiply both sides by 9
-81+72x=2x+3
minus 2x both sides
-81+70x=3
add 81 to both sides
70x=84
divide boh sides by 70
x=6/5


x=39/37 and 6/5
check

9|9-8(39/37)|=2(39/37)+3
2646/37=189/37
false

9|9-8(6/5)|=2(6/5)+3
351/5=27/5
false

no soltion evidently, weird

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST ONLY HAVE 10 MINUTES AND I ADD EXTRA POINTS
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation: plz mark brainliest

If you see The abc triangle you can see that triangle DEF is about twice the size of the other triangle so if you would double the size of the small triangle by the same number which was 20 you would do 20 + 20 = 40 and you would multiply 4 x 5 which equals 20 and add 20 + 20 which equals 40 which is the double amount of triangle ABC

Is 3 squared • 4 squares = 12? Evaluate each side of the equation
Paladinen [302]
No because 4 square equals 2 square and since 3 isn't a perfect number, it would be 2 square times 3 square, which equals 6 square.
