What is the solution of -2 丨 x - 5 丨 + 7 = 19

please include the work!!

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    -2*(x-5)+7-(19)=0  

Step by step solution

Equation at the end of step 1

 ((0 -  2 • (x - 5)) +  7) -  19  = 0  

Pulling out like terms

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  -2x - 2  =   -2 • (x + 1)  

Equation at the end of step

3

 -2 • (x + 1)  = 0

Equations which are never true

4.1      Solve :    -2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.2      Solve  :    x+1 = 0  

Subtract  1  from both sides of the equation :  

                     x = -1

a. the are of the rectangle is 18.25

b. 18.25 times two is 36.50

rae me : d

the answer is 0.071

good luck! : d
