Answer:
a) |n -11| = 5
b) n ∈ {6, 16}
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording of the question is ridiculous. We assume it is intended to read, "The distance between two numbers is 5. One of the numbers is 11. What are the possibilities for the other?"
a) The distance between a number (n) and 11 can be written as ...
|n -11|
Since we want that distance to be 5, we can write the equation ...
|n -11| = 5
__
b) The equation resolves to two:
Adding 11 to both sides of both equations gives ...
The two solutions are n=6 and n=16.

<em>Comment on the question statement</em>
Increasingly, we see curriculum materials written in Pidgin English or where the words have a meaning different from that understood by a native English speaker. It appears you are the lucky recipient of such materials, so must do occasional "interpretation". Here, it seems that "two time a number" is intended to mean "two numbers."
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a coordinate point is (x, y) so for point W (4, -1), 4 is the x-coordinate and -1 is the y-coordinate.
Start at the origin (O). Go 4 units to the right (along the x-axis in a positive direction) and then 1 unit down (in the y plane in a negative direction).
Answer:
The inequality for amount x (in dollars) is given by
x ≤ $33 - (cost of necklace).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of the necklace be $ y.
The amount for the necklace is constant and it is less than $33 and it is also known that the amount for the necklace will be spent.
Therefore after the necklace has been purchased and the amount deducted from $33 the remaining amount can be used completely or partly to purchase the other item.
Let the cost in dollars of the other item be $x.
The inequality for amount x (in dollars) is given by
x ≤ $33 - (cost of necklace)
The expressions is undefined in the set of the real numbers.
