Absolute value of 7. Any real numbers in the absolute sign would equal to the positive value.

<u>D</u><u>e</u><u>f</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>i</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u>

\large \boxed{ |x|  =  \begin{cases} x  \:  \:  \:  \: (x \geqslant 0) \\  - x \:  \:  \:  \: (x < 0) \end{cases}}

If we substitute x = 7 in. Answer by using the definition of absolute value. Note that we only substitute x = 7 in x and not -x since 7 is greater than 0 and not less than 0.

\large{ |7|  = 7 \:  \:  \:  \:  (x \geqslant 0)}

You may also be wondering what will happen if we substitute x = any negative numbers.

\large{ | - 7|  =  -  ( - 7) \:  \:  \:  \: (x <  0)} \\  \large \boxed{ | - 7|  =  7}

Because -7 is less than 0. We substitute in -x and not x. This is the definition of absolute value. But to understand it easily, any numbers in absolute value have to equal to their positive value.

Conclusion

  • |7| means the absolute value of 7.
  • |7| is 7.
  • |x| is x when x ≥ 0 but -x when x < 0

Let me know if you have any doubts regarding the absolute value through comment!

The system of equations y = - 2x + 3 and y = xis graphed. What is the solution to the system of equations ?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

(1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=-2x+3 ----> equation A

y=x ----> equation B

we know that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point both graphs is the point (1,1)

see the given graph

therefore

The solution is the point (1,1)

Remember that

if a ordered pair is a solution of a system of equations then the ordered pair must satisfy both equations of the system

<u><em>Verify</em></u>

Substitute the value of x=1 and y=1 in each equation and analyze the result

<em>Equation A</em>

1=-2(1)+3

1=1 ---> is true

so

The ordered pair satisfy the equation A

<em>Equation B</em>

1=1 ---> is true

so

The ordered pair satisfy the equation B

therefore

The ordered pair (1,1) is a solution of the system because satisfy both equations

Marisa bought four bottles of water.Each bottle of water was 95 cents. Write an equation with the same product as the total cost
meriva

Answer:

5\times 0.76= 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Marisa bought four bottles

          Price of each bottle is $0.95.

Solving with the factors as given to find the total cost paid by Marisa.

Total cost= 4\ bottles\times \$ 0.95= \$ 3.8

∴ Total cost paid by Marisa is $3.8.

As given to write an equation with the same product as the total cost but different factors.

∴ Lets assume the number of bottles bought by Marisa be "5" and cost of each bottle be "x"

We already find the total cost she paid is $3.8.

Now, writing an equation with different factors, as total cost remain same.

5\times x= 3.8

Dividing both side by 5

we get x= $ 0.76

∴ The required equation is 5\times 0.76= 3.8
