The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.
For the equation
-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14
rearrange terms to get
|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4
Now,
• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that
-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
In the first case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4
<em>x</em> = 37/8
In the second case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4
<em>x</em> = 3/8

Answer:
b||c; c||d; b||d
Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting 10 for x, in the angle beside b we have
7(10)-5 = 70-5 = 65
In the angle beside c we have
10(10)+15 = 100+15 = 115
In the angle beside d we have
12(10)-5 = 120-5 = 115
In the angle beside we have
8(10)-25 = 80-25 = 55
The angle beside c has a vertical angle on the other side of c. This angle would be same-side interior angles with the angle beside b; this is because they are inside the block of lines made by b and c and on the same side of a, the transversal. These two angles are supplementary; this is because 65+115 = 180. Since these angles are supplementary, this means that b||c.
The angle beside c and the angle beside d would be alternate interior angles; this is because they are inside the block of lines made by c and d and on opposite sides of the transversal. These two angles are congruent; this means that c||d.
Since b||c and c||d, by the transitive property, b||d.
