Jack is 10 blocks away from the school
Answer:
x ≥ 7
Step-by-step explanation:
|x - 7| = x - 7
A. For each absolute, find the intervals
x - 7 ≥ 0 x - 7 < 0
x ≥ 7 x < 7
If x ≥ 7, |x - 7| = x - 7 > 0.
If x < 7, |x - 7| = x - 7 < 0. No solution.
B. Solve for x < 7
Rewrite |x - 7| = x - 7 as
+(x - 7) = x - 7
x - 7 = x - 7
-x + 14 = x
14 = 2x
x = 7
7 ≮7. No solution
C. Solve for x ≥ 7
Rewrite |x - 7| = x - 7 as
+(x - 7) = x - 7
x - 7 = x - 7
True for all x.
D. Merge overlapping intervals
No solution or x ≥ 7
⇒ x ≥ 7
The diagram below shows that the graphs of y = |x - 7| (blue) and of y = x - 7 (dashed red) coincide only when x ≥ 7.
1.
<span>1.5x-1 > 6.5
1.5x>1+6.5
</span>1.5x>7.5, divide by 1.5
x>5, is represented by the region to the right of the vertical line x=5
2.
<span>7x+3 < -25
7x<-25-3
7x<-28, divide by 4:
x<-4
</span>x<-4, is represented by the region to the left of the vertical line x=-4
