The two solutions for x are x = 5 or x = 9.

We have some number x in which we subtract off 7. The result of this subtraction (x-7) is the value 2. If the result is negative, we flip it to positive. If the result is positive, we leave it alone. Absolute values are never negative because distance is never negative. Note how x = 5 is 2 units away from 7; similarly, x = 9 is also 2 units away from 7. Here's how you can solve for the two solutions

|x-7| = 2

x-7 = 2 or x-7  = -2

x-7+7 = 2+7 or x-7+7 = -2+7 .... add 7 to both sides

x = 9 or x = 5

x = 5 or x = 9

Therefore you could have scored 5 points or 9 points

What is the equation, in point-slope form, for a line that goes through (8, −4)) and has a slope of −56 ?
grin007 [14]
Y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -56
(8,-4)...x1 = 8 and y1 = -4
now we sub...pay close attention to ur signs
y - (-4) = -56(x - 8)....not finished yet
y + 4 = -56(x - 8) <===

Complete the function remove_all(L, x) so that, given a list L and a target value x, it returns a copy of the list that excludes
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Code is given below along with explanation and output.

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the method of list comprehension to achieve the given task.

In a list comprehension, we create a sub-list of elements which satisfy specific conditions. the condition i !=x makes sure that x would be excluded in the modified list.

def remove_all(L, x):

   return [i for i in L if i != x]

L = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4, 3, 2, 4 ]

print('Before =',L)

L = remove_all(L, 4)

print('After =',L)

Output:

Before = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4, 3, 2, 4]

After = [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 3, 2]

As you can see we have successfully removed the multiple occurrence of x=4 while preserving the order of the list.

C(x-2)-5=b(x-3), solve for x
xeze [42]

Answer:

x =  (2c - 3b + 5) / (c - b).

Step-by-step explanation:

c(x - 2) - 5 = b(x - 3)

cx - 2c - 5 = bx - 3b          Bring the terms in x to left side:-

cx - bx  - 2c - 5 = -3b        Bring  other terms to right side:-

cx - bx = 2c  - 3b  + 5

x(c - b) =  2c  - 3b  + 5         Divide both sides by c - b:-

x =  (2c - 3b + 5) / (c - b).
