Hello there!
|a - b| - |c + d|
|-5 - 4| - |1 +(-3)|
=|-5 - 4| - |1 - 3|
= |-9| - |-2|
Solve for the absolute value
= 9 - 2
= 7
A^2+b^2=c^2
7^2+11^2=?
49+121=170
x= Square root of 170
Hope this helps!! :)
Divide both sides by -2
-2(2x-1)=3x+16
distribute
-4x+2=3x+16
add 4x to both sides
2=7x+16
minus 16 from both sides
-14=7x
divide both sides by 7
-2=x
