Solve your equation step-by-step.

|x|−8=−5

Add 8 to both sides.

|x|−8+8=−5+8

|x|=3

Solve Absolute Value.

|x|=3

We know either x=3 or x=−3

x=3(Possibility 1)

x=−3(Possibility 2)

9. Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

y -11 = 2(x -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is the x-coefficient: 2. The parallel line will have the same slope.

When you know the slope and a point on the line, it is convenient to use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your line's equation is ...

y -11 = 2(x -3)

When Roberto got a puppy from the shelter, it weighed 11 pounds. The puppy gained 40% of its original weight in the first month

vlada-n [284]

11 pounds is your 100%. To get 40 percent of that, multiply 11 times .4, which gets you 4.4. That means the puppy gained 4.4 pounds. 11+4.4= 15.4, so the puppy weighed 15.4 pounds after the first month
