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

56 POINTS! Find the area of the following figure. Explain how you got your answer.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

26.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

I am splitting the figure into a rectangle and two triangles to make this easier for me.

The rectangle is b•h so 5•4 = 20 units²

Area of triangle=1/2bh

The left triangle is \frac{1}{2}(3•3) ---> \frac{1}{2}(9) ---> 4.5 units²

The right triangle is \frac{1}{2}(2•2) --->\frac{1}{2}(4) ---> 2 units²

Then add it all up: 20+4.5+2 = <u>26.5</u><u> </u><u>units²</u>
