Iam going to rip my hair out. can somebody do a word for word step by step explanation for my problem? i will give 98 points i'm desperate.

solve the equation. check for extraneous solutions.

9∣9-8x∣ = 2x+3

9|9-8x|=2x+3    divide both sides by 9

l 9 - 8x l  =  [2x + 3] / 9        we have two equations

9 - 8x  = [2x + 3] / 9          and      9 - 8x =  - [2x + 3] / 9

multiply both sides by 9

81 - 72x  = 2x + 3                         81 - 72x  = -2x - 3

get the x's on one side and constants on the other

78  = 74x                                    84  = 70x

divide by 74                            divide by 70

78/74 = x =  39/37                      84/70  = x = 6/5

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
