Find the value of R*S

The equation |a - 5| = |5 - a| is proven by considering two cases: when (a - 5) is greater than or equal to zero and when (a - 5) is less than zero. In both cases, the equation holds true, demonstrating that the absolute value of the difference between a and 5 is equal to the absolute value of the difference between 5 and a for all values of a.

The partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression x/((x+1)(x-4)) is (1/5)/(x+1) + (4/5)/(x-4).

The system of equations is solved by substitution, expanding, simplifying, using the quadratic formula to find x values, and then substituting back into the equations to find the corresponding y values. The solutions are (3, 4) and (-4, -3).

The solution to the system of equations x + 2y = 5 and 3x - y = 1 is x = 1 and y = 2, found using the elimination method.

The solution for x in the equation involving fractions with (x-1) and (x+1) in the denominator is x = √2 and x = -√2.

The solution to the equation 3^(a^2 - 10a + 25)! = 729^4 is a = 3 or a = 7, found by equating exponents after expressing both sides with the same base and solving the resulting quadratic equation.

The solution to the equation 4a³ = 2⁵ is a = 2.

The equation was solved by simplifying the square root, isolating the square root term, squaring both sides, moving all terms to one side, factoring out a common factor, and solving for x, resulting in two solutions: x = 0 and x = 16/81.

The solution to the equation 3^x = 1 and 3^y = 81 is x + y = 4.
