Georgia has a budget of $8 for a new notebook. She wants to spend within $5 of her budget, so she uses the equation 5 = |8 – x| to find the maximum and minimum values. What are the solutions to the equation?

Minimum: 3

Maximum: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Georgia uses the equation

5 = |8 – x| to find the maximum and minimum values.

We solve the equation for x.

By the definition of the absolute value function, we must have:

We subtract 8 from both sides to get:

This simplifies to:

Therefore the minimum value is 3 and maximum is 13

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew
