5x(8 - 4)/4 - 2
Remember to follow PEMDAS.
First, subtract 8 and 4
8 - 4 = 4
5x(4)/4 - 2
Next, follow the left -> right rule, and multiply 5x and 4
5x(4) = 20x
Divide by 4
20x/4 = 5x
Finally, note that one has a variable, and the other has a constant, and so you cannot combine.
5x - 2 is your answer
hope this helps
Your question answers itself. You solve by graphing.
I like to subtract one side of the equation from the other, so the solutions are where the graph crosses the x-axis (the resulting function value is zero).
It can be useful to find the "turning point" of each absolute value expression (where its value is zero) and graph that and some points on either side.
Answer:
(-4,-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the graph is the one shown in the attachment.
The forward sloping line has a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 3.
The equation of this line is y=x+3
The horizontal line has a slope of 0 and y-intercept of -1.
It's equation is y=-1
The two lines intersect at (-4,-1)
1,760 ft. I can't guaruntee that's correct though...
