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

Find the surface area of the rectangle prism. 3cm 9cm and 6cm
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

198 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the dimensions of a rectangular prism;

3cm 9cm and 6cm

We are required to determine its surface area;

We need to know that;

Surface area of a rectangular prism is given by;

A = 2(WL+HL+WH)

Where L, W and H are length , width and height respectively;

Assuming;

Width is 3 cm

Length is 9 cm, and

Height is 6 cm

Then;

Area = 2 ( (3×9) + (6×9) + (3×6))

        = 2(99)

       = 198 cm²

Therefore, the area of the rectangular prism is 198 cm²
