Q. Determine the value of y, if x is 5.y=∣x∣−5Answer:
Substitute x into expression: Substitute the given value of x into the expression.We are given x=5. Let's substitute this value into the expression for y.y=∣x∣−5y=∣5∣−5
Evaluate absolute value: Evaluate the absolute value of x. The absolute value of a positive number is the number itself. ∣5∣=5 Now we can rewrite the expression for y with this value. y=5−5
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction to find the value of y.Subtract 5 from 5.y=5−5y=0
