If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to
-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14
-8 - 10x + 34 = -14
-10x = -40
x = 4
If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have
-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14
-8 + 10x - 34 = -14
10x = 28
x = 2.8
Try this solution (analytic method):
1. if new line is parallel to the given one (y=3x+2) it means the new line has a form y=3x+b, where b - number.
2. In order to calculate 'b', it need to substitute the coordinates of point (6;1) into the equation of the new line:
1=3*6+b, ⇒ b=-17.
3. If to make up the equation of the new line:
y=3x-17
Answer: A
Answer: 26/3
Step-by-step explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change
the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.
So 13/2 ÷ 3/4 means the same thing as 13/2 · 4/3.
So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply
by the reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.
Next we cross-cancel.
4 and 2 reduce to 2 and 1.
Multiplying across the numerator and denominators we have 26/3.
