Explain how you would solve this equation: x – 5 = 12 (Hint what do you need to do to both sides of the equation?) 2. What is the value of x?

Identify the function that contains the data in the following table: x     -2         0         2         3         5     f(x)     5         3         1         2         4     possible answers: f(x) = |x| + 1 f(x) = |x - 2| f(x) = |x - 2| - 1 f(x) = |x - 2| + 1
