let's say that C is "x" units farther from B, that means that CB = x, and therefore AC = 1.5x.

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:
.
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.

The question is relating Rhonda's distance travelled and time taken
If 45 miles = 3 hours
Then, 1 mile = 3/45 hours
![=\frac{1}{15}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B15%7D)
Therefore, it will take Rhonda 1/15 hours to travel 1 mile.
Answer:
x=# of boys
x+7=# of girls
x+x+7=25
2x+7=25
2x=25-7
2x=18
x=18/2
x=9 boys
x+7=16 girls
