|2x-3|=2 please answer this by Wednesday. I have no idea how to solve this. I wasn't paying attention

Ok so in order to solve you need to get the variable by itself, in this case it is x. The first thing you do is add or subtract. You add 3 to the left side to cancel it and whatever is done to one side must be done to the other which is why you add 3 to 2. Now the equation is 2x=5. In order to get the x by itself you must divide by 2. When you divide 2x by 2, the 2 will cancel out. Again, you have to do the same thing to the other side. 5 divided by 2 is 5/2, so x=5/2 is your answer. To check, plug in 5/2 for x. 2 times 5/2 is 5 and 5-3 is 2. 2=2 so the answer is correct. Hope this helped!

We have two points describing the diameter of a circumference, these are:
Recall that the equation for the standard form of a circle is:
Where (h,k) is the coordinate of the center of the circle, to find this coordinate, we find the midpoint of the diameter, that is, the midpoint between points A and B.
For this we use the following equation:
Now, we replace and solve:
The center of the circle is (-8,-7), so:
On the other hand, we must find the radius of the circle, remember that the radius of a circle goes from the center of the circumference to a point on its arc, for this we use the following equation:
In this case, we will solve the delta with the center coordinate and the B coordinate.
Therefore, the equation for the standard form of a circle is:
In conclusion, the equation is the following:
