Question

Rewrite each equation without using absolute value for the given conditions. y=|x-5|+|x+5| if x>5

Answer 1

y = 2x

Explanation:

If x > 5, then x - 5 is positive and x + 5 is also positive. So we can rewrite the equation as follows:

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

Simplifying the equation, we get:

y = 2x + 0

Therefore, the equation without using absolute value for the given conditions is y = 2x.

Hope this helps!
