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

Use (r,16) to solve y=2x-4
damaskus [11]
(x,y) = (r,16)

With this knowledge, plug in r for x, and 16 for y

16 = 2(r) - 4

Isolate the r, add 4 to both sides

16 (+4) = 2r - 4 (+4)

20 = 2r

Divide 2 from both sides

20/2 = 2r/2

r = 20/2

r = 10

hope this helps

Ivahew [28]
When presented with a box plot, it is better to identify the 5 numbers that are important in the box plot.

5 number summary of the boxplot.
1) minimum number - 16
2) 1st quartile - 21
3) 2nd quartile or median - 26
4) 3rd quartile - 29
5) maximum number - 34

Range is the difference of the maximum value from the minimum value of the data set.
Interquartile range is the difference of the 3rd quartile from the 1st quartile.

Range: 34 - 16 = 18
IQR: 29 - 21 = 7
