If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to
-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14
-8 - 10x + 34 = -14
-10x = -40
x = 4
If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have
-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14
-8 + 10x - 34 = -14
10x = 28
x = 2.8
Add up all of your X’s!! then Try and add up all of the degrees I think. Check me if i’m wrong !
The formula for volume is length multiplied by width multiplied by height
I hope this helps sorry if it doesn't :)
Tara's Bedroom: A = lw
A = (9)(8)
A = 72 ft²
Jody's Bedroom: A = lw
A = (7)(10)
A = 70 ft²
Tara's bedroom has the greater area than Jody's bedroom.
