For what values of the following expressions are true: |a−5|=5−a

Mathematics
1 answer:
mars1129 [50]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Whenever a-5<0 or a<5

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you have an absolute value, that turns into two equations. The one we care about is -(a-5)=5-a. After distributing the negative through the left side of the equation, you'll get that 5-a=5-a, which is an identity. But you can only say that abs(a-5)=5-a when a-5<0. To see a visual representation of this, graph both sides of the equation in desmos.

What is "The relationship between time and the distance Remaining on a 3 mile walk for someone walking at a steady rate of 2 mph
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Let d be the remaining distance.

Let t be the remaining time.

The standard distance equation is:

d = rt

We are given the rate as 2, so:

d = 2t

At the start of the walk, the remaining distance is 3 miles.

The remaining time is 1.5 hours.

At the end of the walk, the remaining distance is 0 miles.

The remaining time is 0 hours.

A graph of the distance and time would be a continuous, solid line. That's because the walker will be at every distance between 3 and 0 and every time between 1.5 and 0.

Answer:

The graph of this would be a solid line

The digits 1-5 are used for a set of locker codes. Suppose the digits cannot repeat. Find the number of possible two digit and t
Archy [21]
So you would do
5×4×3= 60
and
5×4=20
so, for a 3 digit code there are 60 possibilities and for a 2 digit code there are 20 possibilities.

Bryan made up a game. Each team starts with seven points. Each time a team answers a question correctly, they earn five points.
Margaret [11]
The given equation is:
t = 7 + 5q
where:
t is the total number of points
q is the questions answered correctly

We are given that the total of correct answers is 6 and we want to find the total number of points. Therefore, all we have to do is substitute with the number of answers in the given equation to get the total points as follows:
t = 7 + 5q
t = 7 + 5(6)
t = 7 + 30
t = 37 points
