Let's do this step by step:
Subtract both sides by 7
-2|x-4|= -10
Divide each side by -2
|x-4|= 5
Now since this is an absolute value equation, you will have two answers. This means you make the equation both positive and negative.
X-4= 5and -(x-4)= 5
Solve for x for both
X-4= 5: add four on both sides
X= 9
-x+ 4= 5: subtract 4 and divide by -1
X= -1
So your answer is: X= -1 , 9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
h(x+1) = ( x + 1 - 2)²
= (x -1)²
Instead of using PEMDAS or the Order of Operations, the student went ahead and solved the equation as though it were written 6 * 12 - 8.
The correct way to solve would be to first solve the parentheses. 12 - 8 is equal to 4. 4 times 6 is 24, giving us an answer of 24.
