No solution since there are no values of x that make the equation true.

Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(|x+5|)-7=3

Add 7 to both sides

-2(|x+5|)-7+7=3+7

-2(|x+5|)=10

Divide both sides by -2

|x+5|=-5

Solve absolute value.

Since an absolute value cannot be negative/less than 0 the answer is no solutions

Answer:

(86.2,0) is the x-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the slope formula to figure this one out:

Just use two of the points on the table, any of them will work:

$(33,-22)\\(52,-33)$

$\frac{-22-33}{33-52} =\frac{-55}{-19}=\frac{55}{19}$

Now you have the slope of the equation, now using the y-intercept equation you can substitute the variables for point of the table and the new slope.:

$(71,-44)\\y=mx+b\\-44=\frac{55}{19} (71)+b$

Now just solve for b to get the y intercept:

$-44=\frac{55}{19}(71)+b\\-44= \frac{3905}{19} +b\\(-\frac{3905}{19})-44=\frac{3905}{19} +b(-\frac{3905}{19})\\ -\frac{4741}{19}=b$

Now you have the y-intercept so you just have to plug in 0 to the y spot and it will calculate the x-intercept.

$0=\frac{55}{19}x-\frac{4741}{19}\\(+\frac{4741}{19})0=\frac{55}{19}x-\frac{4741}{19}(+\frac{4741}{19})\\\\\frac{4741}{19}=\frac{55}{19}x\\\frac{\frac{4741}{19}}{\frac{55}{19} }= \frac{\frac{55}{19} x}{\frac{55}{19} } \\\frac{431}{5} =x\\or\\86.2=x$

And that's the x-intercept.

Answer:

sum of interior angles of octagon is 1080 degrees

From figure ,

136 + 132 + 129 + 116 + 158 + 141 + 124 + x = 1080

so, x = 1080 - 936

= 144

Step-by-step explanation: Simply add the angles and substract the sum from 1080 which is the sum of interior angles of octagon

Answer:

8x² + 6x - 35

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (2x + 5)(4x - 7)

Front: 2x * 4x = 8x²

Outside: 2x * (-7) = -14x

Inside: 5 * 4x = 20x

Last: 5 * -7 = -35

Add up: 8x² - 14x + 20x -35

Simplify: 8x² + 6x - 35
