Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation: first you need to pretend that the absolute value bars are parentheses. Then substitute a with any number less that five, for example z=3

Now we can write our new equation: (3-6)-(3-5)

now we have to determine if the final answer inside the parentheses is positive or negative. In the first parentheses 3-6=-3 with is negative. In our second parentheses we have 3-5=-2 which is a also negative.

Knowing that both parentheses are negative results we can set up an equation using z instead of 3:

-(z-6)-(-(z-5)) is our new equation. If we simplify this equation we get 1 for an answer

Answer: 6 - 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

|z - 6| - |z - 5|    ; z < 5

Since z < 5, then

|z - 6| will be the absolute value of a negative number. Replace the absolute value with a negative and parentheses:

-(z - 6) =  -z + 6

|z - 5| will be the absolute value of a negative number. Replace the absolute value with a negative and parentheses:  

-(z - 5) = -z + 5

Now subtract them without the absolute value signs:

-z + 6 - (-z + 5)

Distribute the negative sign:

-z + 6 + z - 5

-z + z = 0 which leaves:

6 - 5

Write the 2 digit number that matches the clue
Wittaler [7]
You can figure this out by setting up an equation and make

x= tens digit
y= ones digit

y + 8 =x (tens digit 8 more than ones)

also we know that 

y>0
x>0

since the 10s digit and 1s digit cannot be more than one number, we can say

0 < y > 10
0 < x > 10

since x has to be greater than 0 but less than 10, there is only one number that would fit into the equation for y

2 + 8 = 10
(y cannot equal 2 because than x is equal to 10 and it must be less than)

1 + 8 = 9 
( y can be 1 since x is less than 10)

so it would be 
y= 1
x= 9

the number would be 91

hope this helped!
