| 5x - 6 | = -41....no solution because an absolute value cannot be negative
|7x + 13 | = 27
7x + 13 = 27 -(7x + 13) = 27
7x = 27 - 13 -7x - 13 = 27
7x = 14 -7x = 27 + 13
x = 14/7 -7x = 40
x = 2 x = -40/7
so basically, equation 1 has no solution and equation 2 has 2 solutions

Answer:
x = people who chose pepperoni = 252
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of people : people who chose pepperoni = 25 : 18
how many people would you expect to choose pepperoni
out of 350 people?
Let x = people who chose pepperoni
Number of people : people who chose pepperoni = 350 : x
Equate both ratios
25 : 18 = 350 : x
25/18 = 350/x
Cross product
25*x = 18*350
25x = 6,300
x = 6,300/25
x = 252
x = people who chose pepperoni = 252
