Question

2. If (1/3)x-2=1/3, what is the value of |2x - 5²|

Answer 1

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

`(1)/(3)x-2=(1)/(3)`

First, we solve for the value of x.

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(3)=2+(1)/(3) \\ (x)/(3)=(7)/(3) \\ 3x=21 \\ x=7 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of the expression |2x-5²| will be:

`\begin{gathered} |2x-5^2|=|2(7)-5^2| \\ =|14-25| \\ =|-11| \\ =11 \end{gathered}`

The value of |2x-5²| is 11.
