Question 1191105
This is 5x+9-3=13 or 5x+9=16. Just take off the brackets and solve normally for the first one.
The second one has to have the opposite side negated when you take off the brackets.
That is B and C
so |5x+9|=16
5x+9=-16
5x=-25
x=-5
so solutions are x=1.4 and -5
B is one choice
C is the other choice, which is consistent with the statement above.
