Solve for all values of y in simplest form. ∣y−12∣=16

Mathematics
1 answer:
Reil [10]2 years ago

Answer:

y=-4; y=28

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I like to think about it, with absolute value meaning the distance is

"find which number are 16 apart from 12". Which means 28 (to the right) or -4 (to the left).

More formally, applying the definition of absolute value,

|y-12|=16 \leftrightarrow y-12=\pm16\\y-12=-16 \rightarrow y=-4\\y-12=+16 \rightarrow y=28

A triangle has side lengths of (x-6), (x+2) and (x-9). Find the perimeter of the triangle
Setler [38]

Answer:

3x - 13

The perimeter is just the distance around the triangle. We have all three sides, so we can just add them together to get the total distance.

(x-6) + (x+2) + (x-9)

Group:

x + x + x - 6 + 2 - 9

3x - 13
