Answer:

x=17, x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Rearrange this Absolute Value Equation

Absolute value equalitiy entered

     |x-5|-2 = 10  

Another term is moved / added to the right hand side.

     |x-5| = 12  

Step  2  :

Clear the Absolute Value Bars

Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.

The Absolute Value term is |x-5|

For the Negative case we'll use -(x-5)  

For the Positive case we'll use (x-5)  

Step  3  :

Solve the Negative Case

     -(x-5) = 12  

    Multiply

     -x+5 = 12  

    Rearrange and Add up

     -x = 7  

    Multiply both sides by (-1)

     x = -7  

    Which is the solution for the Negative Case

Step  4  :

Solve the Positive Case

     (x-5) = 12  

    Rearrange and Add up

     x = 17  

    Which is the solution for the Positive Case

Step  5  :

Wrap up the solution

x=-7

x=17

Which composition of transformations maps figure EFGH to figure E"F"G"H"?
Lostsunrise [7]

The  composition of transformations maps figure EFGH to figure E"F"G"H" is Option A.a reflection across line k followed by a translation down.

<h3>What is translation?</h3>

A translation can be explained as the movement of a shape in a direction which could be up, down but the appearance of the figure remain unchanged in any other way.

And from the figure, we can see that a translation is used, because of the movement of EFGH to figure E"F"G"H" which occurred in the same direction.

Hence,  composition of transformations maps figure EFGH to figure E"F"G"H" is Option A.a reflection across line k followed by a translation down.
