Absolute value is the distance/difference from a number to the standard number. In this case, the standard value is 14. Let's say 7-year-old Mike is riding his bike up and down the neighborhood street. Mike's house is located on 14th Avenue. Mom told Mike to stay within 3 blocks from home, so Mike can go as far north the 17th street and as far south to 11th street.
x-14=3 or x-14=-3
x=17 or x=11

I hope this makes sense to you.

8x-5y=15 <br>6x+4y=43<br>solve the system by any method

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$x=\frac{275}{62}$ , $y=\frac{127}{31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>I will use the elimination method.</h3>

We want to make the X's the same:

$24x-15y=45$

$24x+16y=172$

Because the signs of the X's are the same we subtract the 2 equations to make:

(I put the second one on top of the 1st)

$31y=127$

So:

$y=\frac{127}{31}$

Substitute y into either equation 1 or 2:

(I chose equation 1)

$8x-5(\frac{127}{31})=15$

$8x=5(\frac{127}{31}) + 15$

$x=\frac{5(\frac{127}{31})}{8}$

So:

$x=\frac{275}{62}$

X − 5 = 17<br> A) x = 22 <br> B) x = 12 <br> C) x = 3.4 <br> D) x = -12

Maksim231197 [3]

A is the correct answer coz if you substitute 22 in the place of X-5 the answer will be 17
