In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, is it perpendicular to one another? explain your reasoning

Solve |2x - 5| = 4 if anyone could , that would be great

The weights of players in a basketball league are distributed normally. the distance (d) of each player's weight (w) from the mean of 86 kilograms was computed as follows: d = |w - 86| if d is greater than 7 for approximately 5% of the players, what is the approximate standard deviation of the players' weights? a. 1.75 kilograms b. 3.5 kilograms c. 4.3 kilograms d. 7 kilograms

Does anyone know how to solve and graph this: 4 + | a + 2 | < 7the only part i don't get is the "4 +"
