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

stellarik [79]

Answer:

-19

Step-by-step explanation:

1) substitute a with 2 and b with 5

(3 + 2)^2 * (4-5) + √36

2) solve the brackets and the square root

(5^2) * (-1) + 6

3) solve the power

25 *(-1) + 6

4) solve the multiplication

-25 + 6

5) solve the sum

Answer:

1) (x + 12)²+(y+6)²= 28

comparing above equation with(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

we get

r=√28

h=-12

k=-6

;.centre=(-12,-6)

radius =√28 units

2) x²+(y+7)²=15

comparing above equation with(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

we get

r=√15

h=0

k=-7

;.centre=(0,-7)

radius=√15 units

3) (x + 4)²+(y - 1)² = 4

comparing above equation with(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

we get

r=√4=2units

h=-4

k=1

;.centre=(-4,1)

radius=√2units

4) (x+3)²+(y-1)²= 8

comparing above equation with(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

we get

r=√8=2√2units

h=-3

k=1

;.centre=(-3,1)

radius=2√2units
