Q. Determine the value of y, if x is −7 .y=∣x∣+6Answer:
Identify Absolute Value: Identify the absolute value operation in the equation.The equation y=∣x∣+6 includes an absolute value operation, which means we take the non-negative value of x, regardless of its actual sign.
Substitute Value of x: Substitute the value of x into the equation.Since x is given as −7, we substitute −7 for x in the equation to get y=∣−7∣+6.
Calculate Absolute Value: Calculate the absolute value of x. The absolute value of −7 is 7, so the equation becomes y=7+6.
Add 6 to x: Add 6 to the absolute value of x.Adding 7 and 6 gives us y=13.
