Answer:

Yes there is. I haven't done this yet but I think it is where you add them up to get your answer on both and see if they equal the same amount.

Answer:

X = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

1.- Rewrite the equation, Put like terms on the same side

6x - 5x = 2 - 17

Instead of adding subtract

2.- Divide 1 on both sides

1x = 15

You should only have X on the left side

3.- You should have

X = 15

Sarah started 3 miles below the rim of the canyon and hiked until she was 8 miles above the rim. Her brother Sam said she hiked

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that the rim of the canyon is 0. Sarah started 3 miles below, so -3, BUT distance can never be negative, so it's considered 3 miles. Then, she went 8 miles above zero. So the 3 miles she went before reaching the rim plus the 8 miles she went after reaching the rim equals 11 miles.

So now we know that Sarah is right, but how do we know which equation is correct? Well, if we look at option C:

$|-3+8|=11$

When solving absolute value, we solve everything within the absolute value before applying the absolute value. This means that we add -3+8 first, which equals 5, and then apply absolute value, which still equals 5. This equation is not correct.

I hope this helps!
