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)

olga55 [171]

In one year, the Perseid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 1 1/5 minutes on average. That same year, the Leonid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 4 2/3 minutes on average. How many more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower?

Answer:

325,452 meteors

Step-by-step explanation:

We all know that :

We have 365 days in a year and in each day there are 24 hours, Likewise an hour has 60 minutes

SO, the total number of minutes in a year is :

365 × 24 × 60 = 525600 minutes

For Perseid  meteor:

1 + \frac{1}{5}  \\ \\ = 1 + 0.2 \\  \\ = 1.2

So one meteor fall at 1.2 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :

1 meteor - 1.2 minutes.

x meteor - 525600 minutes.

1.2x = 525600

x = \frac{525600}{1.2}

x = 438000

∴  438,000 meteors fell during the Perseid shower.

For  Leonid meteor shower:

4 + \frac{2}{3} = 4.67

So one meteor fall at 4.67 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :

1 meteor - 4.67 minutes.

x meteors - 525600 minutes.

4.67x = 525600

x = \frac{525600}{4.67}

x = 112548

112,548 meteors fell during the Leonid Shower.

Finally , the numbers of more meteors that  fell during the Perseid meteor shower is calculated by the difference in the number of Perseid meteor shower and Lenoid meteor shower. i.e

438,000 - 112,548 = 325,452

325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower
