Answer:
8/15 (fraction) or 0.5333333333333...
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution of the equation is x = -4/3.
<h3>What does it mean to solve an equation?</h3>
An equation represents equality of two or more mathematical expression.
Solutions to an equation are those values of the variables involved in that equation for which the equation is true.
WE have been given an equation as;
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
In an absolute value equation, we solve the original expression as our first equation. Our second one is that we multiply the right side by -1.
Case 1: original equation
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
x - 4 = 5x + 12
x - 5x = 12 + 4
-4x = 16
x = -4
Case 2: Opposite equation
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
x - 4 = - (5x + 12)
x - 4 = - 5x - 12
x + 5x = -12 + 4
6x = -8
x = -4/3
Now we have two solutions. We need to check for extraneous solutions because of all the manipulations;
Check:
|x - 4| = 5x + 12
use x = -4
|-4 - 4| = 5(-4) + 12
| -8 | = -20 + 12
8 = -8
Thus, it is Not a solution
Now, |x - 4| = 5x + 12
use x = -4/3
| -4/3 - 4| = 5( -4/3) + 12
|-16/3 | = -20/3 + 12
|-16/3 | = 16/3
16/3 = 16/3
Thus, it is the Solution.

Input that equation into math weigh dot com except weigh is spelled way it just won’t let me type it out on here. and choose graph its a life saver
Answer:
D. (x – 3)^2 = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want an equivalent to x^2 -6x = 8.
We can complete the square by adding the square of half the x-coefficient to both sides of the equation.
x^2 -6x +(-6/2)^2 = 8 +(-6/2)^2
(x -3)^2 = 17 . . . . simplify
If you would do this in whole number form, it'll be 40/7.
