Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

|x - 16| less than/equal to 4

Means x can be between;

-4+16 and 4+16, i.e [12,20]

|y - 6| less than/equal to 2

Means x can be between,

-2+6 and 2+6, i.e [4,8]

x - y would be greatest when x is greatest and y is least:

20 - 4 = 16

zysi [14]

Answer:

x =2

Option D is correct !!!

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras theorem we can solve this

we know that:

{x}^{2}  +  {4}^{2}  =  \sqrt{20} {}^{2}

{x}^{2}  =  \sqrt{20} ^{2}   - 16

{x}^{2} = 20 - 16

x = 2
