Your question answers itself. You solve by graphing.
I like to subtract one side of the equation from the other, so the solutions are where the graph crosses the x-axis (the resulting function value is zero).
It can be useful to find the "turning point" of each absolute value expression (where its value is zero) and graph that and some points on either side.
The equation that would best describe the situation would be the first option. To solve this question, simply break down the question into sections and then use variables X and y to represent each of the things asked for in the problem. We know the following:
X = no of tetra fish
Y = no of goldfish
If there is twice as much goldfish than tetra fish, then it would be 2y.
X = 2Y.
Then knowing what X and y represent, find the equation that gives the total cost of fish he bought, knowing that 1.50 is for a goldfish and 2.00 is for a tetra fish.
(1/3)x =16 (x represents the total number of books he has)
x=48
Answer:
d= 2√10
Step-by-step explanation:
y= 3x - 5
3x - y - 5=0
d= | 3* 7 +(-1) * (-4) + (+5) |
________________
d = | 20 | / 
d = 20 /
d = 2
9=n+3
Subtract 3 on each side
n=6
