Write an equation for each translation of y=|x| .
13 units down
a) y= | -13x |
b) y= | x | - 13
c) y - 13 = | x |
d) y = 13 + | x |

y = |x| -13

Step-by-step explanation:

recall for any function y = f(x), to translate the function vertically by any value "a", we simply have to add "a" to f(x).

If a is positive, then the graph is translated in the positive y-direction (i.e upwards), if a is negative, then the graph is translated in the negative y-direction (i.e downwards)

In our case , the graph is translated vertically by 13 units (i.e a = 13) and it is to be translated downwards (i.e negative)

hence we add a= -13 to the original function.

y = f(x) + (-13)

y = |x| + (-13)

y = |x| -13

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
