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>.

Can someone help me please?

So, if the page is 12 inches wide, that's the width of the page, 12, minus the width of the photo, 7 1/2. 12 - 7 1/2 = 4 1/2. 
Now, we need to divide 4 1/2 by 2, so it will be even on both sides.
4 1/2 divided by 2 = 2 1/4.
He should put the picture 2 1/4 inches from each side of the page.

First you would have to find the base which would be 9^2 + 9^2= C^2 because of the pythagorean theorem. So the base would equal 12.7. To find the area of a triangle it’s A= h•b / 2. So your answer would be 95.25
