Answer:
This translates to "y is any real number such that it is 0 or larger".
The reasoning is that the result of any absolute value function is either 0 or positive. In other words, we'll never get a negative result of an absolute value function. This is due to how absolute value represents distance. Negative distance does not make sense.
So if y = |x-3| then y = 0 is the smallest output possible. We could have any positive output we want.
In terms of a graph (see below), the V shape is at the lowest point (3,0). The y coordinate is all we care about in terms of finding the range. So we see the lowest y value is y = 0.
If you would like to write an inequality to represent the situation, you can do this using the following steps:
x ... the amount of Alicia's paycheck
x/2 - $42.15 >= $20
x/2 >= $20 + $42.15
x/2 >= $62.15 /*2
x >= $62.15 * 2
x >= $124.3
The correct result would be x >= $124.3.
2x-5y=7
3x-2y=-17
f[g(x)] = 7x + 27
f[g(x)] = 7x2 + 15
f[g(x)] = 7x2 + 27
