Answer:

x ≥ 8 or x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached graphic for reference)

|x-5| ≥ 3 (expand absolute value expression)

(x-5) ≥ 3

x ≥ 3 + 5

x ≥ 8 (first answer)

or

(x-5) ≤ -3

x ≤ -3 + 5

x ≤ 2 (second answer)

Answer:

$x=\frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x+\frac{5}{8}=3x-\frac{5}{8}$

Subtract 5/8 from both sides:-

$2x+\frac{5}{8}-\frac{5}{8}=3x-\frac{5}{8}-\frac{5}{8}$

$2x+\frac{5}{8}-\frac{5}{8}$

Add like terms:-

$\frac{5}{8}-\frac{5}{8}=0$

$=2x$

$3x-\frac{5}{8}-\frac{5}{8}$

Rule:- $\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a \pm b}{c}$

$\frac{-5-5}{8}$

Subtract, $-5-5=-10$

$=\frac{-10}{8}$

Cancel common factor: 2

$=-\frac{5}{4}$

$=3x-\frac{5}{4}$

---------------

$2x=3x-\frac{5}{4}$

Now, subtract 3x from both sides:-

$2x-3x=3x-\frac{5}{4}-3x$

$-x=-\frac{5}{4}$

Divide both sides by -1:-

$\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-\frac{5}{4}}{-1}$

$x=\frac{5}{4}$

PLS help me Order four and seven tenths repeating, negative four and eight ninths, 490%, and −4.9 from least to greatest.

Digiron [165]

The order from least to greatest negative four and seven tenths repeating, negative four and eight ninths, 490%, and −4.9 from least to greatest is; option A

−4.9,
negative four and eight ninths
four and seven tenths repeating
490%,

<h3>Ascending order</h3>

four and seven tenths repeating

= 4.77777777

negative four and eight ninths

= -4 8/9

= -4.888888888888888

490%

= 490/100

= 4.9

−4.9

Rearranging from least to greatest (ascending order)

-4.9
-4.888888888888888
4.77777777
4.9

1. If you are asked to use elimination to solve for x", what do you need to multiply the bottom equation by to eliminate "y?

hram777 [196]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

There is different ways to solve methods of elimination but if you wanted to cancel y out you would multiply by the opposite sign....for example

7x + 5y = 19

-5 (2x + y = 19) ---> -10x -5y = 95

this would cancel out your y to solve for x so you can plug it back in and solve! hope this helps!!!
