Well if Amy ran 31 miles more than Ryan, and she ran 40 miles all together, than you simply just subtract 31 from 40.  Write it on paper like this:

      40
    - 31
    -------
you cant take 1 from 0 so instead you "borrow" from the number next to it which would be the 4. you never take more than 1 from a number when borrowing. so take 1 from 4, place the 1 by the 0 now, making the 4 a 3 and 0 a 10. now you can subtract the 1 from the 10, making it a 9. then you subtract 3 from 3 and the answer you get is 9.
    
 
I hope this helped!

SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATION
Ratling [72]

Answer:

1. x=27

2. x=11 or x=-7

3. x=4

4. x=1 or x=\frac{1}{3}

5. x=12

6. x=11 or x=-1

7. x=8

8. x=3 or x=1

9. x=\frac{13}{2} or x=-4

10.x=7 or x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first 8, the absolute value portion is just substituted in for x, so we can skip some of the repeated work that would occur in these. For the absolute value problems, there are two solutions each. When you remove an absolute value, you have to add a plus or minus to each side and solve for each.

1. 5x+9=144\\5x=135\\x=27

2. |3x-6|=27\\3x-6=27\\3x=33\\x=11\\\\3x-6=-27\\3x=-27\\x= -7

3. \frac{x}{7-3} =1\\\frac{x}{4} =1\\x=4

4. |12x-8|=4\\12x-8=4\\12x=12\\x=1\\\\12x-8=-4\\12x=4\\x=\frac{4}{12} \\\\x=\frac{1}{3}

5. \frac{2}{3}x-11=-3\\\frac{2}{3}x=8\\x=\frac{24}{2}\\ x=12

6. |2x-10|=12\\2x-10=12\\2x=22\\x=11\\\\2x-10=-12\\2x=-2\\x=-1

7. \frac{4x-5}{3} =9\\4x-5=27\\4x=32\\x=8

8. |8x-16|=8\\8x-16=8\\8x=24\\x=3\\\\8x-16=-8\\8x=8\\x=1

9. |4x-5| +15=36\\|4x-5|=21\\4x-5=21\\4x=26\\x=\frac{26}{4} \\x=\frac{13}{2} \\\\4x-5=-21\\4x=-16\\x=-4

10. 6|3x-12|-5=49\\6|3x-12|=54\\|3x-12|=9\\3x-12=9\\3x=21\\x=7\\\\3x-12=-9\\3x=3\\x=1
