2x+8+ 120= 180
Combine like terms so 8+120=128
2x+8+ 120= 180
2x+128=180
-128=-128 ( to both side)
2x= 52 You divide now
2x/2= 52/2
x= 26
There is your answer :)
The first one is the correct answer due to 4 is the initial height of the plaint and 0.75 are inches that being added every week
To solve, we will need to plug in -5 for x in both instances.
|-5 + 2| / -5 + 2
|-3| / -3
Now, these absolute value bars may be a bit puzzling. What we have to do is take the absolute value of the number inside of the brackets. Meaning, that if the number is negative, we make it positive, and if the number is positive, then it stays positive.
3 / -3
-1
Hope this helps!! :)
It is a mixed number because 12/2 can be written as 6 instead of 12/2
