If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to
-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14
-8 - 10x + 34 = -14
-10x = -40
x = 4
If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have
-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14
-8 + 10x - 34 = -14
10x = 28
x = 2.8
2 2/3 = [(2*3)+2]/3 =8/3
(8/3)/5=8/(3*5)=8/15
Answer:
4x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3x - 1
g(x) = x + 2,
(f +g)(x)= 3x-1 + x+2
Combine like terms
=4x +1
