-I5I=-5 vs. I-5I= 5
The absolute value will stay the same for both negative and positive. The result will change depending on where you put your absolute value signs.
[tex] 3(x + 5) - 2(x + 2) = 20 \\
3x + 15 - 2x - 4 = 20\\
5x + 11 = 20\\
5x = 9\\
x = 1\frac{4}{5} [tex]

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so you will move constant to the right side and change the sign. 72x=223-7
then you will subtract the numbers 72x=223-7 and that will give you 72=216
then you will divide both sides by 72 and that will give you
- x=3 .
3(2x-4)=2(x+4)
6x-12=2x+8
6x-2x=8+12
4x=20
x=20/4
x=5
