l t+2 l= 10
Which of the following is a possible value of s + t?
a.) -4
b.) -3
c.) 1
d.) 13
e.) 25

Answer 1

it's c so when t=-12 and s=13

Answer 2

Question: 1s-5... what?? = 8

Answer 3

Remove absolute and put -+ answer on the right side.
You find t and s values :)

Answer 4

The give equations are about s and l, while question is about s and t. I don't get it.

Answer 5

l s-5 l= 8
gives us two equations:
s-5 = 8
s-5 = -8
or
s = 13
s = -3


l t+2 l= 10
gives us two equations
t+2= 10
t+2 = -10
or
t = 8
t = -12


s + t = 13 + 8, 13 + (-12), -3 + 8, -3 + (-12)
