Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2| x - 3 | + 5 = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2| x - 3 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

| x - 3 | = 6

The absolute value function always returns a positive value but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is

x - 3 = 6 OR -( x - 3) = 6

x - 3 = 6 ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 9

OR

-( x - 3) = 6 ← distribute left side

- x + 3 = 6 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- x = 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 3

As a check

Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.

x = 9 → 2|9 - 3| + 5 = 2|6| + 5 = (2 × 6) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 ← True

x = - 3 → 2|- 3 - 3| + 5 = 2| - 6 | + 5 = (2 × 6) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 ← True

Hence x = 9 or x = - 3 are the solutions → a

Find the slope of the line through each pair of point
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

slope = \frac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

= (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 5)

m = \frac{5-3}{1+6} = \frac{2}{7}
