Answer:
Belinda's score is 32 strokes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the score of John be "x" and Belinda be "y".
It is given that, in the game of golf, John's score was 10 less than two times Belinda's score.
Also, John's score is 54 strokes.
The above equation can be written as ;

Here, x = 54,



Thus, Belinda's score is 32 strokes.
Answer:
The equation has no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
If we re arrange the equation a little more we will obtain the following
|x|=-11
Which is a contradiction since, the |x| is always a positive number
Attached is the representation of this function y= |x|
It means, that it doesnt matter what value 'x' has, the answer is the same number but, positive
2y is 2y, so it is equal to 17383.
IF you were looking for just y, than the answer is 17383/2 = y = 8691.5
