He began with 10. Because if he bought 8 after selling half of his books and now his total is 13, then 13-8=5
so 5+5=10

Simplify (write without the absolute value sign)<br><br> |x+3|, if x>2

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Note that if x>2, then x+3>3+2=5. Then x+3>0. Recall that the absolute value function is defined as

$|x|=x \text{ if } x\geq 0$

$|x|=-x \text{ if } x< 0$

Since x+3>0, we have that |x+3|=x+3

spayn [35]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Team D used a recipe that consists of 20 cups of sand, 2 cups of flour, and 3 cups of water.

Question asked:

How does the percent of sand in Team D's recipe compare to that of the other teams ?

Solution:

Team D used a recipe that consists of sand = 20 cups

Team D used a recipe that consists of flour = 2 cups

Team D used a recipe that consists of water = 3 cups

Total number of cups together = 20 + 2+ 3 =25 cups

Now we will have to find percent of cups of sand out of the total number of cups.

By using formula of percentage,

Percent = $\frac{Value}{Total \ value}\times100$

$=\frac{20}{25} \times100\\=\frac{2000}{25} =80\%$

Therefore, 80% of sand in Team D's recipe compare to that of the other teams.
