-7 = x/2 + 1 
Subtract one from both sides 
-8 = x/2
Multiply two on both sides
-16 = x
Answer, x = -16
Checking,
-7 = (-16/2) + 1
-7 = -8 + 1
-7 = -7
 
        
             
        
        
        
-8 
On the number line if you are at positive 8 and add -8 you will lose 8 and get zero! Hope this helps!
        
             
        
        
        
The function A(x) = 2x²-3x-2 represents the area of the garden. 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, 
Length of rectangular garden is given by;
L(x) = 2x+1
Width of rectangular garden is given by;
W(x) = x-2 
Area of rectangular garden; 
A(x) = L(x) * W(x) 

The function A(x) = 2x²-3x-2 represents the area of the garden.

No . . . while the difference represents the absolute magnitude between two numbers . . . for example . . .
<em>The difference between 5 and 2 is . . . 3</em>
<em>The difference between 6.4 and 9.5 is . . . 3.1</em>
 . . . there is still the chance that the difference may be zero . . . in which case the difference is neither positive nor negative
. . . so in short . . . the answer is . . . <u><em>NO</em></u>
