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

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

$(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{-1,-8} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(smaller $x$-value)}$

$(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{5,16} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(larger $x$-value)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

$\begin{cases}y=x^2-9\\y=4x-4\end{cases}$

To solve by the method of substitution, substitute the first equation into the second equation and rearrange so that the equation equals zero:

$\begin{aligned}x^2-9&=4x-4\\x^2-4x-9&=-4\\x^2-4x-5&=0\end{aligned}$

Factor the quadratic:

$\begin{aligned}x^2-4x-5&=0\\x^2-5x+x-5&=0\\x(x-5)+1(x-5)&=0\\(x+1)(x-5)&=0\end{aligned}$

Apply the zero-product property and solve for x:

$\implies x+1=0 \implies x=-1$

$\implies x-5=0 \implies x=5$

Substitute the found values of x into the second equation and solve for y:

$\begin{aligned}x=-1 \implies y&=4(-1)-4\\y&=-4-4\\y&=-8\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}x=5 \implies y&=4(5)-4\\y&=20-4\\y&=16\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the solutions are:

$(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{-1,-8} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(smaller $x$-value)}$

$(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{5,16} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(larger $x$-value)}$
