Take the constants to the right side of the equation
|5-x|=13/4-3/4
|5-x|=5/2

When you remove the absolute value on the left side, you have to put a plus or minus sign, +- on the right side.

5-x=+-5/2

Solve for the positive equation:
5-x=5/2
-x=-5/2
x=5/2

Solve for the negative equation:
5-x=-5/2
-x=-15/2
x=15/2

Solution: x= 5/2, 15/2

2. im not sure if it means after taking away 3/4, but if it is, its 10/4

x=10/4 and -30/4 i believe, im not too good with fractions, sorry if its wrong :((

iragen [17]

Answer:

The unit rate of $10 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x = time$

$y = amount$

$(x,y) = (1,10)$

See attachment for graph

Required

What does the given point represents

From the attachment, the origin of the graph is:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)$

and we have the given point to be:

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,10)$

Calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{10-0}{1-0}$

$m = \frac{10}{1}$

$m = 10$

The slope represents $10/1 hour

Hence:

$(x,y) = (1,10)$ means the unit rate is $10 per hour

Given parallelogram MNOP, MA = x + 5, AO = y + 2, PA = 3x and AN = 2y

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The values of x and y are x = 6 and y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

MNOP is a parallelogram its diagonal MO and PN intersected at point A

In any parallelogram diagonals:

Bisect each other
Meet each other at their mid-point

In parallelogram MNOP

∵ MO and NP are its diagonal

∵ MO intersect NP at point A

- Point A is the mid-point pf them

∴ MO and NP bisect each other

∴ MA = AO

∴ PA = AN

∵ MA = x + 5

∵ AO = y + 2

- Equate them

∴ x + 5 = y + 2 ⇒ (1)

∵ PA = 3x

∵ AN = 2y

- Equate them

∴ 2y = 3x

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ y = 1.5x ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Substitute y in equation (1) by equation (2)

∴ x + 5 = 1.5x + 2

- Subtract 1.5x from both sides

∴ - 0.5x + 5 = 2

- Subtract 5 from both sides

∴ - 0.5x = -3

- Divide both sides by - 0.5

∴ x = 6

- Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ y = 1.5(6)

∴ y = 9

The values of x and y are x = 6 and y = 9
