The two bars ( | | ) symbolize absolute value
Absolute value is essentially just making the number given positive.
If the given number is already positive then the absolute value is the same as the original number
|-13| is 13
The absolute value of -13 is 13
Hope this helped!

ok so we see that TR is 17 units, so RV is the same amount
3x+2 so 3x=15 so divide both sides by 3 we get x=5
now we know x=5 4x+1=21 and 9x-4=41

1) The graph consists of three horizontal segments, with discontinuities (jumps) at x = 1, x = 2, and x = 3.
A horizontal segment at y = - 2 for the values x = 0 to 1.
A horizontal segment at y = - 1 for values x = 1 to 2
A horizontal segment at y = 0 for values x - 2 to 3.
2) To know whether the end points of a segment are defined by the left or the right values you have to look for the circle at the extreme of the segment: if it is a solid dot, means that the end is included, if is is an open circle (white inside) then the end is not included in that segment.
3) That function is based on the function named integer part because if relates y with the integer part of x.
The integer value function is [x] and it makes correspond y values witht he integer values of x.:
y = 0 witht the integer value of x for x between 0 and 1, excluding 1.
y = 1 with the integer value of x between 1 and 2 (excluding 2)
y = 2 with the integer value of x between 2 and 3 (excluding 3)
y = 3 with the integer value of x between 3 and 4 (excluding 4)
But our function is two units below, so it is [x] - 2
Order of operations are:
<span>1. Parentheses (simplify inside 'em)
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
<span>4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
So, on your first one:
Parentheses first:8(3+4)-2*8/(5-3)
8(7)-2*8/(2)
There are no exponents so multiplication and division:56-16/2
56-8
Finally, addition and subtraction:56-8=48
Your second problem is a bit more complicated but follows the same rules:

Parentheses first:</span></span>

Now, exponents. Even though they are inside parentheses, we can't go further until we simply those.
(64+81)/5
Now back to parentheses:(145)/5
Division:
145/5=29
