Given that x < 5, rewrite 5x - |x - 5| without using absolute value signs.

For , , therefore

So, for ,

So, if we have an arbitrary number under the absolute value, say y, we have |y| to be:

Which in plain english means "If y is less than 0, then the absolute value of y is the negation of y, and if y is greater than 0 then the absolute value of y is y."

So, in our above absolute value expression we would have:

Since we are given x<5, we know that the absolute value actually negates what's encompassed by it so we have:

So our expression without the absolute value signs is simply 6x-5.

answer: sorry i can't you.

step-by-step explanation:

4 and 5)16.97 or 12√2

6)15.59 or 9√3

7)y = 15.59 or 9√3     x =27

8)17.80
