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

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
