The solutions of the equation are -12 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative, if IxI = a, where a > 0, then

  • x = a
  • x = -a

∵ 2Ix - 2I - 8 = 20

- At first add 8 to both sides

∴ 2Ix - 2I = 28

- Then divide both sides by 2

∴ Ix - 2I = 14

Now By using the notes above equate x - 2 by 14 and -14

∵ x - 2 = 14

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ x = 16

∵ x - 2 = -14

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ x = -12

The solutions of the equation are -12 and 16

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-6,1) and (2,5)?
kow [346]
Slope is simply rise/run.
or
(vertical shift)/(horizontal shift)

and the y value went from 1 to 5, which means it horizontally shifted by 4.
the slope is 8/4.
or 2.

Leto [7]

Answer:

After 2 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabelle has $1520 in her bank account and she makes automatic $760 monthly payments on a home loan.

If she stops making deposits to that account, then a monthly $760 will be deducted from her account.  

After 1 month the balance in her account will become $[ 1520 - 760 ] = $760 and then after 2 months the balance will become $[ 760 - 760 ] = $0

Therefore, after 2 months her account will have zero balance. (Answer)
