Answer:

x = ± 7

|-7|-2=5

|7|-2=5

± means positive or negative

Step-by-step explanation:

|x|-2=5

Get x by itself by adding 2 to both sides.

x - 2 + 2= 5 + 2

-2 + 2 cancels out

x = 5 + 2

x = 7

Absolute value is how far a number is from 0.

x can be either positive or negative.

A suitcase measures 24 inches long and the diagonal is 30 inches long. How much material is needed to cover one side of the suit

azamat

Answer:

I believe you're supposed to solve for the other missing side. If you know a side (a) and the diagonal or also known as the hypotenuse (c), you will be able to solve for the other side using the Pythagorean theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2 Substitute the values for a and c

24^2+b^2=30^2 Solve for the powers

576+b^2=900 Subtract 576 from both sides

b^2=324 Solve for the root of 324

18=b

You would need 18 inches of material to cover one side of the suitcase.
