Step-by-step explanation: To solve this absolute value inequality,
our goal is to get the absolute value by itself on one side of the inequality.
So start by adding 2 to both sides and we have 4|x + 5| ≤ 12.
Now divide both sides by 3 and we have |x + 5| ≤ 3.
Now the the absolute value is isolated, we can split this up.
The first inequality will look exactly like the one
we have right now except for the absolute value.
For the second one, we flip the sign and change the 3 to a negative.
So we have x + 5 ≤ 3 or x + 5 ≥ -3.
Solving each inequality from here, we have x ≤ -2 or x ≥ -8.
The answer depends on what type of division it is. Synthetic?
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 17.6 = 6
Subtracting both sides by 17.6
2x = 6 - 17.6
2x = -11.6
Dividing both sides by 2
x = -11.6 / 2
x = -5.8
Answer:
y - 12 = 9(x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex (h, k) is (4, 12) and the point (5, 21) is on the graph. Assuming that this is a vertical parabola, opening up (because the coordinate 21 is greater than the coordinate 12), we insert the knowns into y - k = a(x - h)^2, obtaining
21 - 12 = a(5 - 4), or 9 = a. With a known, we can write the desired equation:
y - 12 = 9(x - 4)
