How Can I Write an Absolute Value Function for the Outline of the Khufu Pyramid?

In summary, the largest pyramid in the first wonder of the world is Khufu, standing at 450 feet tall and with a base of 755 feet long. In a coordinate plane with each unit representing one foot and the origin at the center of the pyramid base, an absolute value function can be written for the outline of the pyramid. In another conversation, the user is seeking help with a problem involving simultaneous linear equations, and it is recommended to create a new thread for each question. A solution is suggested by multiplying the first equation by 2 and subtracting them.

Okay, we don't understand this and we need much help


the largest pyramid included in the first wonder of the world is Khufu. IT stands 450 feet tall and its base is 755 feet long. Imagine that a coordinate plane is placed over side of the pyramid. In the coordinate plane, each unit represent one foot and the origin is at the center of the pyramid base. Write an abolute value function for the outline of the pyramid

please help:confused:

Multiply your first equation by 2 and subtract the formulas from each other.
And someone move this to a new thread :)

How about one question per thread?

For the solution: try multiplying the top one by 2 and subtracting them.
