Answer: Hope this helps!!!
Step-by-step explanation:Absolute Value: You need to find how far away both numbers are from zero, then add these values together to see how far apart these numbers. The absolute value of nine, |-9| is 9, and |12| is 12. This means that the nine is nine spots away from zero, and twelve is twelve spots from zero. This means that the numbers are 20 units from each other.
Distance -9 is from 12 You need to find how much of an increase from nine you need to reach the twelve. So -9 + ? = 12. What number can you add to equal twelve? You can add 20 to make the equation true. (? = 20) The distance from -9 to 12 is a positive 20.
Distance from 12 to -9 This is similar to the previous example. What number can you insert to make the 12 equal the negative nine? 12 - ? = -9. The number would be -20, which means that 12 is 20 spots away from the negative nine, as it took at negative twenty to get us to the negative nine.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Switch sides:

Multiply both sides by 9:


Divide both sides by 5:


Add 32 to both sides:


ANSWER

EXPLANATION
First equation:

Second equation:

Let us equate the two equations and solve for x.
This implies that;

Group similar terms to obtain:

Simplify:

Divide both sides by 3

Put x=-2 into any of the equations.
I will put x=-2 into the first equation:

This implies that,
