Solve the equation and show the solution set on a number line: |x+5|=x+5

x ≥  -5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's see how the function f(x) = IxI works:

if x ≥ 0, IxI = x

if x ≤ 0, IxI = -x

Notice that for 0, I0I = 0.

Ok, we want that:

|x+5| = x+5

Notice that this is equivalent to:

IxI = x

This means that  |x+5| = x+5 is only true when:

(x + 5) ≥ 0

from this we can find the possible values of x:

we can subtract 5 to both sides and get:

(x + 5) -5 ≥ 0 - 5

x ≥  -5

So the graph in the number line will be a black dot in x = -5, and all the right region shaded.

something like:

-7__-6__-5__-4__-3__-2__-1__0__1__2__3__4__ ...

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
