If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to
-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14
-8 - 10x + 34 = -14
-10x = -40
x = 4
If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have
-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14
-8 + 10x - 34 = -14
10x = 28
x = 2.8

4
2
2
Now we can draw the line plot as attached.
Average height of the seedlings = 
= 
= 
Addition: negative four plus negative four plus negative four equals negative twelve
Multiplication: negative four times three equals negative twelve
Division: twelve divided by 3 equals negative four
