Answer:
x ≥ 7
Step-by-step explanation:
|x - 7| = x - 7
A. For each absolute, find the intervals
x - 7 ≥ 0 x - 7 < 0
x ≥ 7 x < 7
If x ≥ 7, |x - 7| = x - 7 > 0.
If x < 7, |x - 7| = x - 7 < 0. No solution.
B. Solve for x < 7
Rewrite |x - 7| = x - 7 as
+(x - 7) = x - 7
x - 7 = x - 7
-x + 14 = x
14 = 2x
x = 7
7 ≮7. No solution
C. Solve for x ≥ 7
Rewrite |x - 7| = x - 7 as
+(x - 7) = x - 7
x - 7 = x - 7
True for all x.
D. Merge overlapping intervals
No solution or x ≥ 7
⇒ x ≥ 7
The diagram below shows that the graphs of y = |x - 7| (blue) and of y = x - 7 (dashed red) coincide only when x ≥ 7.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = (7/3)x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Convert given equation to y=mx+b form --> y = (7/3)x - 5/3
2. Equation of new line --> y = (7/3)x + b
- Note: 7/3 is the slope and for lines to be parallel they need the same slope so both equations have 7/3.
3. Plug in given values --> 5 = (7/3)(6) + b
4. Solve for b --> b = 5 - 14 b = -9
5. New line --> y = (7/3)x - 9
17 tables because you need to divide 198 and 12 and yu get 16.5 but you have to round it because you cant leave the 5 people out so it would be 17
