Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

x - 2/2 - x

Hint: | Reduce (-2)/2 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -2 and 2.

The gcd of -2 and 2 is 2, so (-2)/2 = (2 (-1))/(2×1) = 2/2×-1 = -1:

x + -1 - x

Hint: | Group like terms in x - 1 - x.

Grouping like terms, x - 1 - x = (x - x) - 1:

(x - x) - 1

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

x - x = 0:

Answer: -1

Which inequivalnet is equivalent to |x-4|<9

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

something like this?

$\left \{ {{x-4$

the top one is valid when x-4 >0

the bottom one is valid when x-4<0

Step-by-step explanation:

absolute value |x-4|

means that in case x-4 is negative, we will use -(x-4)

if it's positive we use x-4

let's find the solution (where the original inequality is true)

negative case:

-(x-4)<9 -x+4 < 9 -x < 5 x>-5

positive case:

x-4 < 9 x < 13

to satisfy both conditions -5 < x < 13
