Find the value of qq that satisfies q745=10|q-745| = 10, then graph the solution on a number line.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. . The absolute value of a number is always positive or zero, but never negative.
3. The equation is in the form of x=a|x| = a, where xx is the expression inside the absolute value and aa is a positive number. The solutions to this equation are x=ax = a and x=ax = -a.

STEP 2

We need to set up two equations to solve for qq based on the properties of absolute value. The two equations are q745=10q-745 =10 and q745=10q-745 = -10.

STEP 3

Let's solve the first equation q745=10q-745 =10 for qq.
q=10+745q =10 +745

STEP 4

Calculate the value of qq.
q=10+745=755q =10 +745 =755

STEP 5

Now, let's solve the second equation q745=10q-745 = -10 for qq.
q=10+745q = -10 +745

STEP 6

Calculate the value of qq.
q=10+745=735q = -10 +745 =735

STEP 7

The solutions to the equation are q=755q =755 and q=735q =735.

STEP 8

To graph the solution on the number line, mark the points at q=735q =735 and q=755q =755.
