Answer:

x = 9 1/2 x = -2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5-3|2x-7|=-31

Subtract 5 from each side

5-5-3|2x-7|=-31-5

-3|2x-7|=-36

divide by -3

-3/-3|2x-7|=-36/-3

|2x-7|=12

There is a positive and negative solution to the absolute value equation

2x-7 =12 2x -7 = -12

Add 7 to each side

2x-7+7 =12+7 2x-7+7 = -12+7

2x = 19 2x = -5

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 19/2 2x/2 = -5/2

x = 9 1/2 x = -2 1/2

Answer:

$\large\boxed{(\sqrt2)(\sqrt{2^3})=4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\sqrt2)(\sqrt{2^3})\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\=\sqrt{2\cdot2^3}\qquad\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\=\sqrt{2^{1+3}}=\sqrt{2^4}\\\\(1)=\sqrt{2^{2\cdot2}}\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\=\sqrt{(2^2)^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{a^2}=a\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\\\\=2^2=4\\\\(2)=\sqrt{2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2}=\sqrt{16}=6\ \text{because}\ 4^2=16$
