Answer:
x = 2, or x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
If 2x - 3 is inside the parenthesis (), then the value of x is 2.
If 2x - 3 is inside the absolute value sign, then the value of x will probably be -1.
<u>Solution 1</u>
(10x-15) + 4 = 9
10x -11 = 9
10x = 20 -> x = 2
<u>Solution 2</u> (Not 100% sure)
|10x -15| +4 = 9
10x + 15 +4 = 9
10x + 19 = 9
10x = -10 -> x = -1
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know the answer but my tip would be to split the shape the way I did it, find the lengths of each side, and then find the area for each individual shape.
Then add all the areas together.
Multiplying x^2 by 5 stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 5. Try graphing both x^2 and 5x^2 and see for yourself that this is correct.
