"a" is an absolute value, so that means that after whatever is in the brackets is solved as far as it can be, it becomes a positive value, no matter what it is. So, |-1.4| is equal to 1.4. The equation is 1.4+ (-2.7) or 1.4 - 2.7 which equals -1.3
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that adding TUW and WUV will give TUV.
So you can substitute the given equations for each and form a lengthy equation
5x + 3 + 10x -5 = 17x - 16
Move all the variables to one side, and the constants to the other
5x + 10x - 17x = -16 - 3 + 5
Simplify!
-2x = -14
x = 7
