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

What is the answer<br>2x+3x-7=42​
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

x = \frac{49}{5} or 9.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same amount of the same variable.

(2x + 3x) - 7 = 42

5x - 7 = 42

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Additions

Subtractions

~

First, add 7 to both sides of the equation:

5x - 7 (+ 7) = 42 (+ 7)

5x = 42 + 7

5x = 49

Next, divide 5 from both sides of the equation:

(5x)/5 = (49)/5

x = 49/5

x = 9.8
