Determine the value of y, if x is -5.
y = |x| – 6

The value of y = -1 , if x is -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = |x| – 6

y = |-5| – 6

|-x| = x ---> this is the rule of absolute value, so let's apply this to our equation.

y = 5 – 6 >  -5 becomes 5

y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)

y=-2.5x+12.5

step-by-step explanation:

5y=2x+10

y=0.4x+2

slope=-2.5

5=-2.5*3+b

b=12.5
