Item 4 solve the equation by graphing. ∣x+1∣=∣−x−9∣

The solution is (-5,4).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation, |x+1|=|-x-9|

Now, |x+1| =

Also, |-x-9| =

So, equating these two functions gives the value of x = -5. After substituting this value in any of the function term say y = x+1, we get y = 4.

Moreover, from the graph below we see that, after equating these functions, the solution is given by the points at which they intersect.

Hence, the solution is (x,y) = (-5,4).

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)
