8.25 / 11 = 0.77 times 18 = 13.86 the answer would be 13.86
Graph the absolute value by using the vertex and a few selected points
Point One: X= -1, Y= -8
Point Two: X= 0, Y= -2
Point Three: X= 1, Y= 4
Point Four: X= 2, Y= -2
Point Five: X= 3, Y= -8
The graph should look something like a mountain or an upside down V
Answer:
As per the statement;
The moon takes 28 days to orbit around the earth going at a distance of 2,413,000 km
From the above information,
The ratio between Distance and Days is; 
then,
the distance it takes for the moon to travel one day of its orbit around the earth we have;
km.
Therefore, the distance in kilometer does the moon cover in 1 day is 86178.57 km
If triangles PQR and STU are similar then PQ corresponds to ST and PR corresponds to SU. Therefore, PQ/ST=PR/SU
Considering that, PQ= 7-x, ST= 13-x, PR= x²+5 and SU= x² +20
therefore, (7-x)/(13-x)= (x²+5)/(x²+20)
cross multiplying,
7x² +140-x³+20x =13x²+65-x³-5x
combining the like terms,
6x² +15x -75=0
solving for x,
x = 5/2 or -5
