Answer:
n = 8 or n = −6
Explanation:
First, isolate the absolute value:
5 − |n − 1| = −2
7 − |n − 1| = 0
7 = |n − 1|
Then, split this into two equations, since the result of the absolute value could be positive or negative:
7 = n − 1 7 = −(n − 1)
8 = n 7 = −n + 1
n = −6
Answer:
5x - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Product of five and x is 5x.
15 less then then the product of five and x
= 5x - 15
Answer:
y = 9x/2 + 17/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula:
to find the slope of the line.
(4 - (-5)) / (-1 - (-3)) = (4 + 5) / (-1 + 3) = 9 / 2
y = mx + b
m is for slope, b = y-intercept
y = 9x/2 + b
Plug in one pair of the known values:
(-1,4)
4 = 9(-1)/2 + b
b = 4 + 9/2 = (8+9)/2 = 17/2
y = 9x/2 + 17/2
If you want to check if the equation is right, you can plug in the other pair of values into the equation:
(-3,-5), y = 9x/2 + 17/2
-5 = -3*9/2 + 17/2
-5 = -27/2 + 17/2
-5 = -10/2
-5 = -5
