So i am doing this school assignment and it's duem

|7| + |-2| | +|5| + |-8|=

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the total number of spaces traveled, it doesn't matter whether they are forward or backward.

We moved 7 spaces right then 2 spaces left then 5 spaces right then 8 spaces left.  The total spaces are just the number of spaces, not whether they were left or right so we take the absolute value

|7| + |-2|  +|5| + |-8|=

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
