Answer:
|x-5|=2
Step-by-step explanation:
1- Find the mid value between the given numbers 3 and 7
(3+7)/2= 10/2 = 5
2- Find the difference btween the mid value (5) and any of the two given numbers (3 or 7). Use the absolute value for the difference.
|5-3|= 2 or |7-5|=2
3- Arrange the absolute equation like this:
|x-mid value from step 1|= absolute difference from step 2
|x-5|=2
4- Double check the answer with the given values 3 and 7 using our equation |x-5|=2
|3-5|=2 correct
|7-5|=2 correct
Answer: y = 4 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
when y is 2, x is 0.5
when y is 4, x is 1
.(+ 2) .(+ 0.5)
.(+ 2) .(+ 0.5)
.(+ 2) .(+ 0.5)
.(+ 2) .(+ 0.5)
the rule is that y is 4 times larger than x
2(3x+4y) = 2(24)
6x+8y = 48
Add both the equations
6x + 8y = 48
+ x - 8y = -20
—————————
7x = 28
x = 28/7
x = 4
Plug in this value in the second equation
(4) - 8y = -20
-8y = -24
y = -24/-8
y = 3
Therefore:
x = 4
y = 3
