Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, |x| = x when x >= 0 and |-x| = x when x < 0.

So,there are two ways to solve this equation -2|x + 5| = 8.

In the 1st case, let's assume (x + 5) >= 0

=> |x + 5| = x + 5

=> -2(x + 5) = 8

=> x + 5 = 8 / -2 = -4

=> x = -4 - 5 = -9

In the 2nd case, let's assume (x + 5) < 0

=> |x + 5| = -(x + 5) = -x - 5

=> -2 (-x -5) = 8

=> (-x -5) = -4

=> -x = 1

=> x = -1

These are the 2 solutions by solving the math in two different ways.

I hope this helps.

Answer:

6 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert any whole numbers to mixed numbers

$\frac{12}{1} \times \frac{23}{42}$

Use fractions formula

$\frac{a \times b}{c \times d} = \frac{e}{f}$

$\frac{12 \times 23}{1 \times 42} = \frac{276}{42}$

Count how many times 276 goes into 42 evenly

$= 6\frac{4}{7}$

Analyze the solution set of the following system by

Answer:

The equations in the slope-intercept form

y = - 2 x + 5

y = - 2 x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope of the line.

b is the y-intercept.

To put any equation in the slope-intercept form state y on the left side, x and the numerical term on the right side, the coefficient of y must be 1.

Let us do that with the given equations

∵ 2x + y = 5

→ Subtract 2x from both sides to move x to the right sides

∴ 2x - 2x + y = 5 - 2x

∴ y = 5 - 2x

→ Switch 5 and - 2x

∴ y = - 2x + 5

∵ 3y = 9 - 6x

→ Divide each term by 3 to make the coefficient of y = 1

∴ $\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{9}{3}-\frac{6x}{3}$

∴ y = 3 - 2x

→ Switch 3 and - 2x

∴ y = - 2x + 3

The equations in the slope-intercept form

y = - 2x + 5

y = - 2x + 3
