- |Absolute Value| - makes any number positive
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
|bc|
a = 5
b = -3
c = -2
<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>
- Substitute: |-3 · -2|
- Multiply: |6|
- Evaluate: 6
Since all the sides add up to 10x+2, that means that 10x-2-<side1>-<side2>=<side3>. Plugging it in, we have 10x-2-5x-(2x+9)=side3, and 5x-2-(2x+9)=side3, then expanding it to 5x-2-2x-9=3x-11=side3
