Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.

The Absolute Value term is |x-3|

For the Negative case we'll use -(x-3)  

For the Positive case we'll use (x-3)  

Step  3  :

Solve the Negative Case

     -(x-3) = 12  

    Multiply

     -x+3 = 12  

    Rearrange and Add up

     -x = 9  

    Multiply both sides by (-1)  

     x = -9  

    Which is the solution for the Negative Case

Step  4  :

Solve the Positive Case

     (x-3) = 12  

    Rearrange and Add up

     x = 15  

    Which is the solution for the Positive Case

Step  5  :

Wrap up the solution

x=-9

x=15

Answer:

x = 4; x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x| = 12

3x = 12

3x/3 = 12/3

x = 4

3x = -12

3x/3 = -12/3

x = -4

A line that includes the points (9,
IceJOKER [234]
Your numbers are all over the place, I will assume that you are saying that the slope is 13.

Looking at the formula for calculating slope/gradient, it is Rise/Run. 
Rise/Run = y2 - y1 divided by x2 - x1. The reason for this is because if you minus one y value from the other y value you get the difference in values which is the rise, and if you minus one x value from the other x value you get the difference in value  which is the run. 

So by using this formula, you get:
 
(7 - 6) / (v - 9) = 13
Therefore 1/(v - 9) = 13
If you multiply both sides by (v-9), you get 1= 13v - 117
you rearrange it to 13v = 118
If you divide by 13, you get your answer = 9.0769

You can check your answer by putting this value back into the gradient formula.
 
(7-6)/(9.0769-9) 
=13.004

Geometry. What is the measure of segment x rounded to the nearest hundredths place? Check picture below also.
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

D. 21 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use Power of Points, which basically says that for intersecting chords in a circle (see attachment), a * b = c * d.

Here, we can say that a = x, b = 6, c = 7, and d = 18. Then, we have the equation:

ab = cd

x * 6 = 7 * 18

6x = 126

x = 21

Thus, x is 21 ft.

Hope this helps!

You have to move the decimal point from the end to between the 6 and 5 then count how many spaces you moved it because this will become the power on the 10.
