Answer:

2/3 min

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as equations

so 8-2.5x=5-0.5x

We isolate x by subtracting both sides by 5

3-2.5x=0.5x

add 2.5x to both sides

3=2x

divide both sides by 2

x=2/3min

Rewrite each expression without using absolute value notation |7m-56| if m<8
dusya [7]

Considering the definition of the absolute value function, the expression is written as -7m + 56.

<h3>What is the definition of the absolute value function?</h3>

The absolute value function is defined as follows:

  • |x| = x, x \geq 0.
  • |x| = -x, x < 0

That is, where the expression is negative, it is multiplied by -1, while where it is not negative the expression is kept.

In this problem, the expression is:

|7m - 56|

For m < 8, we have that one example is m = 0:

7(0) - 56 = -56.

The expression is negative, hence the signal is changed, that is:

|7m - 56| = -(7m - 56) = -7m + 56.
