2x + 12 = 18
18 - 12 = 6
2x = 6
x = 3

So you want to drop the absolute value signs and you need to make two equations:

2x + 12 = 18 OR 2x + 12 = -18
subtract both sides by 12 for both equations
2x = 6 OR 2x = -30
divide both sides by 2 for both equations
x = 3 OR x = -15

i hope this helps!!

Which relation is a direct variation that contains the ordered pair (2, 7)?

Tasya [4]

Lets write equation of a function:

y = kx + n

Direct variation in simple is equation of a line which has n=0 or in other words which y to x ratio is k.

First option gets 7=7 but it isnt direct variation because n is not equal to 0

third option is indeed correct. once we implement coordinates (2,7) we get 7=7

Answer is
y = 7/2x
