A store scale measures the weight of objects within 0.4 ounce of the actual weight. The store scale measured an object with an actual weight of x ounces, displaying 7.2 ounces on its screen. Which expression, using absolute value, shows the distance the actual weight is from the weight shown on the scale?

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation
