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

Who is sacatoa joe in geometry
valkas [14]
I think that you are mistaking the memory tool for something else
or a math book is trying to make math cute by calling them 'socatoa joe' and 'mr. pi' and such


anyway, SOH, CAH, TOA is the way to remember
Sine=oposite/hypotonuse
Cosine=adjacent/hypotonuse
Tangent=oposite/adjacent

(oposite side=side oposite the angle
adjacent is the side touching the angle that is not they hypotonuse
and of course the hypotonuse is the longest side aka, side oposite right angle)
