The solutions of the equation are -12 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative, if IxI = a, where a > 0, then
∵ 2Ix - 2I - 8 = 20
- At first add 8 to both sides
∴ 2Ix - 2I = 28
- Then divide both sides by 2
∴ Ix - 2I = 14
Now By using the notes above equate x - 2 by 14 and -14
∵ x - 2 = 14
- Add 2 to both sides
∴ x = 16
∵ x - 2 = -14
- Add 2 to both sides
∴ x = -12
The solutions of the equation are -12 and 16

First statement is correct and the second is not correct
The answer is x=-20.
6+ -28 -x =-2
You first add 28 to each side=6+-x=26 then you minus 6 from each side=-x=20.
Then you divide 20 by -x resulting in x=-20
A. <span>2x + 5y= 10
5y= -2x+10
</span>-> y= -2/5x+2
b. The slope is 2
c. For the y intecpet, x is always 0
y= -2/5x+2
y= -2/5(0)+2
y=0+2
y=2
(0,2) is the y-interecpt
d. Please veiw below
