Q. Solve for yy.\newline∣y∣−5=5|y| - 5 = 5\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newliney=y = _____ or y=y = _____
  1. Set up equation: Set up the equation.\newlineWe are given ∣y∣−5=5|y| - 5 = 5. To find the value of yy, we first need to isolate the absolute value on one side of the equation.\newlineAdd 55 to both sides of the equation to get ∣y∣|y| on one side.\newline∣y∣−5+5=5+5|y| - 5 + 5 = 5 + 5\newline∣y∣=10|y| = 10
  2. Solve for y: Solve for y.\newlineThe absolute value equation ∣y∣=10|y| = 10 means that yy can be either 1010 or −10-10 because the absolute value of both 1010 and −10-10 is 1010.\newlineSo, y=10y = 10 or y=−10y = -10.
