Answer:

The answer is <em>1</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

|z-6|-|z-5|,\ if\ z

To find:

The expression without absolute value.

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the absolute value function:

y = f(x) = |x| =\left \{ {{x\ if\ x>0} \atop {-x\ if\ x

i.e. value is x if x is positive

value is -x if x is negative

Here the given expression contains two absolute value functions:

|z-6| and |z-5|

Using the definition of absolute value function as per above definition.

|z-5| =\left \{ {{(z-5)\ if\ z>5} \atop {-(z-5)\ if\ z

|z-6| =\left \{ {{(z-6)\ if\ z>6} \atop {-(z-6)\ if\ z

Now, it is given that z < 5 that means z will also be lesser than 6 i.e. z < 6

So, given expression |z-6|-|z-5|,\ if\ z will be equivalent to :

-(z-6) - (-(z-5))\\\Rightarrow -z+6 +z-5 = \bold{1}

So, the expression is equivalent to <em>1</em>.

Your cell phone plan gives you 500 minutes monthly. If you have used 310 minutes already and there is a week left in this month,
aksik [14]
The minutes remaining till the end of the month = 500 - 310 = 190 minutes
now to split these minutes equally, we will divide them by 7 days of week
daily usage = 190/7 = 27.14 minutes
since we can not talk for 0.14 minutes, therefore,to equally split the remaining minutes, you should speak 27 minutes per day with one extra minutes remaining to be used on the day you choose

wel
Answer: 2 lbs of cherries

Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb

------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges

------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6               ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18         ---------------------------- (2)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6 
x = 6 - y 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------
