Answer: u = 6

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for u in the equation you see here, we must first isolate the term containing u which in this problem is -6u.

Since 7 is being added to -6u, we subtract 7 from both sides of the equation to isolate the -6u. On the left side of the equation, the +7 and -7 cancel out and on the right side of the equation, -29 - 7 is -36 so we have -6u = -36.

Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by -6. On the left the -6's cancel and on the right -36 divided by -6 is 6.

So u = 6 and you can check your answer by 6 back in for u in the original equation shown below in italics.

-6 (6) + 7 = -29

Given the function f(x) = 0.5|x - 4| + 6, for what values of x is f(x) = 7

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

6 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 0.5|x - 4| + 6

0.5|x - 4| + 6 = 7

0.5|x - 4| = 7-6

0.5|x - 4| = 1

|x - 4| = 2

x -4 = ± 2

x-4 = 2 ==> x = 6

x-4 = -2 => x = 2

so the value of x = 6 or 2

Determine the value of y if y = |x| + 11 (also what does | | means)

saul85 [17]

I’m assuming this is asking for the y intercept. | | are just there to separate the x from the rest of the equation.
So,, you’re gonna replace x with 0
So, substitute if x=0
y=x +11
Y= 0 + 11
y= 11
The value of y is 11
