The absolute value makes the -8 into a positive 8, then you subtract the 8 on both sides, giving you your answer 7. (Since 15-8=7)
1) The larger number is 33.
2) Joan weighs 47.5 kg, and Annie weighs 44.5 kg.

To solve each problem, the following calculations must be done:
1)
(54 - 12) / 2 = X
42 / 2 = X
21 = X
21 + 12 = 33
33 + 21 = 54
2)
(92 - 3) / 2 = X
89 / 2 = X
44.5 = X
44.5 + 3 = 47.5
44.5 + 47.5 = 92
3)
1000 / 3 x 2 = 666.666
0.666 x 6 = 3.999
0.333 x 6 = 1.999
4)
1/5 + 1/X = 1/2
10/5 + 10/X = 10/2
2 + X = 5
X = 5 - 2
X = 3
5)
5 /// 1
8 /// 4
