<span> |2x − 5| − 2 = 3
</span><span>1) |2x − 5| = 3 +2
2)</span><span> |2x − 5| = 5
3) 2x-5 = 5, or 2x-5= -5
4)2x=10, or 2x=0
5) x = 5 , or x = 0
Check:
</span> |2x − 5| − 2 = 3
|2*5− 5| − 2 = 3 or |2*0 − 5| − 2 = 3
|5|-2=3 or |-5| -2 =3
3=3 (true) or 3=3 (true)
All steps are correct.
Answer:
x = 8°
y = 21°
Step-by-step explanation:
27 + 3y = 90
3y = 63
y = 21°
x + 8x + 18 = 90
9x = 72
x = 8°
Answer:
n=21
Step-by-step explanation:
We must find n.
Remember PEMDAS. First we must do the Parentheses. Lets do distributive property by multiplying a number that is immediately outside the parentheses with each number inside the parentheses. Lets do this one side at a time.
First lets do 5(n - 7). We get 5n - 35
Now 2(n + 14) is 2n + 28
Okay...... now we have 
Now lets do OPPOSITES!!!! We must do the opposite of each thing to both sides.
The opposite of -35 is positive 35. Lets add 35 to both sides. We get:

Now lets do the opposite of 2n which is -2n

this is looking quite nice isnt it..........
The opposite of 3 times n is 3 DIVIDED BY n. So lets divide both sides by 3

amazing.......
1/2
If ABC ~ DEF then 12/6, 16/8, and 18/9 would equal 2
BUT since we are going from a large triangle to a small triangle, our answer needs to be less then one, making our answer 1/2
A + s = 456........a = 456 - s
3.5a + s = 1131
3.5(456 - s) + s = 1131
1596 - 3.5s + s = 1131
-3.5s + s = 1131 - 1596
-2.5s = - 465
s = -465/-2.5
s = 186 <====== student tickets sold
a + s = 456
a + 186 = 456
a = 456 - 186
a = 270 <==== adult tickets sold
