Solve the following absolute value equation. −8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14

Mathematics
1 answer:
Levart [38]2 years ago
4 0

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

an article after allowing a discount of 20% on its marked price was sold at a gain of 20% had it been sold after allowing 25% di
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Rs 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let MP = m

Discount = 25% of MP = m/4

SP = MP - Discount

= m - m/4 = 3m/4

If profit is 20%, CP = 3m/4 x 100/120 = 5m/8

=> Profit = 3m/4 - 5m/8 = m/8

Given Profit - Discount = Rs 15

=> |m/8 - m/4| = 15

m/8 = 15

m = Rs 120

What is the length of RS.
Natali [406]

Consider, in ΔRPQ,

RP = R (Radius of larger circle)

PQ = r (radius of smaller circle)

We have to find, RQ, by Pythagoras theorem,

RP² = PQ²+RQ²

R² = r²+RQ²

RQ² = R²-r²

RQ = √(R²-r²

Now, as RQ & QS both are tangents of the smaller circle, their lengths must be equal. so, RS = 2 × RQ

RS = 2√(R²-r²)
