Answer:

If x > 5, then y = 2x.

Explanation:

If x > 5, then both expressions inside the absolute values are positive, so we can simplify the expression:

y = |x - 5| + |x + 5|

Since x > 5, we know that x - 5 > 0 and x + 5 > 0. Therefore, we can write:

y = (x - 5) + (x + 5)

Simplifying this expression, we get:

y = 2x

So, if x > 5, then y = 2x.

Hope this helped! Sorry if it's wrong. If you need more help, ask me! :]
