Solve the equation square root of x minus 5+ 7 = 11 for the variable. show each step of your solution process. (10 points)

|x - 5| = 16

x - 5 = +/- 16

x - 5 = 16     or     x - 5 = -16

  +5   +5               +5    +5  

    x = 21       or        x = -11

x = {21, -11}

not enough information

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
