Y = |x| = x if x ≥ 0, -x if x < 0

absolute value can be interpreted as a function that does not allow negative real numbers, forcing them to be positive (leaving 0 alone). if the input x is more than or equal 0, then x stays positive so there is no need to do anything: "x if x ≥ 0".
if the input is less than 0, then it is an negative number and needs a negative coefficient to negate the negative: "-x if x < 0"

example: if x = -3, then it will take the "-x if x < 0" piece resulting in y = -(-3) = 3, which is what |-3| does

if x = 1, it will take the "x if x ≥ 0" piece and just have y = 1 which is what |1| does.

for x = 0, it will take the "x if x ≥ 0" and just have y = 0 which is what |0| does

-5(t + 6) + 7t = 100
Mila [183]
Use distribution
-5t - 30 + 7t = 100
Combine like terms
2t - 30 = 100
Add 30 to both sides
2t = 130, t = 65
Solution: t = 65

initial population of a town is 3400 and it grows with a doubling time of 10 years what will the population be in 8 years
Talja [164]
So in 10 years, the population will double.

8 years is just before doubling to 6800.

If you consider 10 years to be 100% of the doubling time, 8 years is 80%.

And 80 as a decimal is 80/100 = 0.8

So the answer is 0.8 * 6800, simplify.
