Absolute value makes all things inside positive (make result positive)
so one example is
|x+1|=4
so if you had 3 in it woul dyhave
|3+1|=4
|4|=4
4=4
true
if -5
|-5+1|=4
|-4|=4
4=4
treu
-77 and 7/20 is the answer simplified and without it being simplified you get -77 and 35/100
Answer:
So if we are solving for x and y. First we need to subtract both equations. We take each equation and put in parenthesis and subtract.
y-y = (3x+7)-(-2x-3) =
0 = 3x+7+2x+3
0 = 5x+10
-10 = 5x
-2 = x.
Now we need to solve for y.
Plug it in for the first equation. -2*3+7 = -6+7 = 1
Test if we are correct and try in the second equation.
-2*-2-3 = 4-3 = 1
<u>x = -2</u>
<u>y = 1</u>
