Solve: |2(x-5)|+11=17​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Otrada [13]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step 1

Use the distributive property to multiply 22 by x-5x−5.

|2x-10|+11=17∣2x−10∣+11=17

Hint

Expand using distributive property.

Step 2

Subtract 1111 from both sides.

|2x-10|=17-11∣2x−10∣=17−11

Step 3

Subtract 1111 from 1717 to get 66.

|2x-10|=6∣2x−10∣=6

Hint

Subtract one term from another.

Step 4

Use the definition of absolute value.

2x-10=62x−10=6 2x-10=-62x−10=−6

Step 5

Add 1010 to both sides of the equation.

2x=162x=16 2x=42x=4

Step 6

Divide both sides by 22.

x=8x=8 x=2x=2

Solution

x=2x=2

x=8x=8

Solve the following equation show your work 3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1
Reika [66]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we must simply solve for x.  To do this, we will need equation operations, and the use of the distributive property.

Let's work this line by line until we have the value for x:

3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1

3*-x + 3*(2x + 1) = x - 1

-3x + 6x + 3 = x - 1

3x + 3 = x - 1

2x = -4

x = -2

Now we can check our answer for x by plugging back into the original equation and see if the left hand side is equal to the right hand side:

3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1

3{-(-2) + (2(-2) + 1)} ?= (-2) - 1

3{2 + (-4 + 1)} ?= -3

3{2 + (-3)} ?= -3

3{-1} ?= -3

-3 == -3

Thus, we have found the solution for x to be equivalent to negative 2.

Cheers.

13 out of 60 people surveyed were left handed calculate the angle you would use in a pie chart
PtichkaEL [24]
Total angle for the pie chart = 360°

13 out of 60 =    13 / 60

Angle for it =    13 / 60 * 360 = 13 * 6 = 78°

Angle used = 78°

+(-6) + (-8)= -4<br> What’s the missing number???
Darya [45]

Answer:

10

Step by step explanation:

In general, if we have an equation that has just one variable, such as x, then "solving the equation" means finding the set of all values that can be substituted for the one variable to produce a valid equation.

Isolate "x" on one side of the algebraic equation by adding the negative number that appears on the same side of the equation as the "x." For example, in the equation "x - 5 = 12", rewrite the equation as "x = 12 + 5" and solve for "x."

x + (-6) + (-8) = -4

x + (-6 + -8) = -4

x + (-14) = -4

x + (-14 + 14) = -4 + 14

x = 10
