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)

What is an equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line whos equation is <br> 2y+3x=1
____ [38]

\text{First, simplify the equation into slope intercept form:}\\\\2y+3x=1\\\\2y=-3x+1\\\\\text{Divide by 2}\\\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1\\\\\text{Now, the perpendicular line is the opposite of the slope, and the opposite}\\\text{value}\\\\\text{Since our original equation is negative, the perpendicular lien will be positive}\\\\\text{And then you would just flip the fraction}\\\\\text{Your perpendicular line should be:}\\\\\boxed{y=\frac{2}{3}x+1}

If I plan to run 400 yards and I have completed 80%, how many yards do I have left?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

You have 80 yards left to run.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first must realize that if you have completed 80% of the run, that you have 20% left (this is because 100%-80% = 20%).  

Next, we must find 20% of 400 yards.  We must remember that in math, the word "of" represents multiplication.  We also know that 20% = 20/100 = 0.2.

To find 20% of 400 yards, we can perform the following operation:

20% * 400

0.2 * 400

80

Therefore, you have 80 yards left.

Hope this helps!
