Can someone explain to me of how to do this?

1) 11

2) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The bars on the sides of the numbers represent the absolute value/magnitude of the number, so you will need to remove the negative symbol if it is present in front of the number (if it is already a positive number, leave it as it is).

Example:

Hope this helps :)

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
