Find x (steps pls) | x - 7| = 2 (i dunt understand the | in the questions)

Mathematics
1 answer:
kirill [66]3 years ago
3 0

these two bars |  | mean <u>absolute value</u>

here's how to find x

| x - 7| = 2

first apply the absolute rule

x - 7 = 2                 x - 7 = -2

in both equations add 7 on both sides

x - 7 + 7 = 2 + 7       x - 7 + 7 = -2 + 7

then simplify the expressions

x = 9                         x = 5

now combine these two solutions to get your answer

x = 9 or x = 5

hopefully my explanation helps

Thr four angles of a quadrilateral L are in the ratio 5:2:3:8find the angle
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Ratio = 5:2:3:8
Sum of all internal angles = 360°
5x + 2x + 3x + 8x = 360°
18x = 360°
x = 20°
Therefore,
5x = 100°
2x = 40°
3x = 60°
8x = 160°
5:2:3:8 :: 100:40:60:160.
