answer: |_-_x|-_=0​

Sagot :

Answer:  |50 - 4x| - 5 = 0

==================================================

Explanation:

x = cost of one dinner

4x = cost of four dinners

50-4x = the difference in the cost of $50 vs 4x dollars

To ensure this difference is never negative, we use absolute value to form the expression |50-4x|

Set this equal to 5 since we want this distance or difference to be 5 units above or below 50

|50-4x| = 5

|50 - 4x| - 5 = 0

Answer:

l 50 - 4x l - 5 = 0
