The possible values for | x-y | > 0 is any number above 0. x must be greater than y. When | x-y | = 0, That means that x and y are equal to each other. | x-y | can not be less than 0, but it can equal 0.
Hope that this helped!
Just plug in one of the other (doesn't matter which one) so it will look like
-3x+6=5x+38
or
5x+38=-3x+6 (it's the same thing as the first one)
Then you solve for x and you substitute that value so you can get y.
Hope this helped :)
Since they have the same base we can just add all the exponents
-3+ 10= 7
keep the base so the answer is
12^7
Multiply dollars / unit * units. It is actually a useful thing to know. Many thing are done using the tools this question requires.

Steve takes home 308.56 dollars. The answer is B.
Since the line is parallel, the same coefficients can be used for x and y. The constant on the right needs to change so that the given point will satisfy the equation.
... 5x - 4y = 5(-8) -4(2) = -40 -8 = -48
Your equation is
... 5x -4y = -48
