Mathematics

2|x + 5| = 16

|x + 5| = 16 ÷ 2

|x + 5| = 8

x + 5 = 8   (a)

x = 3

-(x + 5) = 8   (b)

-x - 5 = 8

-x = 13

x = -13

x = 3, -13

The first step would be to divide both sides by 2...because u want to get the absolute value on one side, and everything else on the other side

2 | x + 5 | = 16...divide both sides by 2
| x + 5 | = 16/2
| x + 5 | = 8

u would then solve x + 5 = 8 and x + 5 = -8 for ur answers

To add any fraction You need to make sure that the denominator of the fractions are same. ( denominator in your sum is 19 )

10/19 + 3/19 ( we have the same denominator )
we can also write this problem like
( 10 + 3 ) / 19  { add the numerators together }
13 / 19

So correct option is B.

hope this helped..  :)

In order to answer this we need the table, however to do this all you would do would be to multiply the p value in the table with the corresponding r value in the table and then multiply this by 5, then order them, smallest to greatest.
