Simplify: |x−y| if x is less than y

Mathematics
1 answer:
blondinia [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

y-x

Step-by-step explanation:

I assumed you meant that you wanted me to rewrite the expression without the absolute value signs. Since the absolute value of a number will be the same whichever way you place the numbers, you can rewrite |x-y| as y-x, as x is less than y.

What is the equation of the line containing the points (3, 1), (9, 3), and (27, 9)?
lutik1710 [3]

From the given points that are (3,1),(9,3),(27,9), we can say that x is three times of y. That is

x= 3y

And we need to solve for y. For that, we need to get rid of 3 from the right side by dividing both sides by 3 . And on doing so , we will get

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{3y}{3}

\frac{x}{3}=y

or

y=\frac{x}{3}

Solve for x and y y+8=-4(x+7)
Sedaia [141]
Because you can't solve for two variables at once, you can guess and trial/error.
You can also give x or y any value, and then solve for the opposite variable.

x = 0
y = -36
for example. There are more solutions.

   y + 8 = -4(x+7)
-36 + 8 = -4(0+7)
      -28 = 0 - 28
      -28 = -28
