Question

Rewrite without absolute value

y=|x−5|+|x+5|, if x<−5

thank you

Answer 1

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

as range of x is

-5 < x < 5

we can see if we put x = 0 we get

y = 10

we put any value of x in given range first term is always negative without absolute. and 2nd term is always positive

so

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

= -( x-5) + x + 5

= - x + 5 + x + 5

= 10

so

y = 10 where -5 < x < 5
