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

Answer:
11
Explanation:
Given the equation:
[tex]\frac{1}{3}x-2=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]First, we solve for the value of x.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{3}=2+\frac{1}{3} \\ \frac{x}{3}=\frac{7}{3} \\ 3x=21 \\ x=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the value of the expression |2x-5²| will be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} |2x-5^2|=|2(7)-5^2| \\ =|14-25| \\ =|-11| \\ =11 \end{gathered}[/tex]The value of |2x-5²| is 11.
