Hello there!

8 = |5 - x|

Then flip it

|-x + 5| = 8

Then solve for the absolute value

We know either -x + 5 = 8 or -x+5 = -8

Let's solve the first possibility,which is -x + 5 = 8

-x + 5 = 8

-x= 8 - 5

-x = 3
Remember that we cannot leave the variable with a negative sign. To turn it into a positive sign, we need to divide both sides by -1

-x/-1 = 3/-1

x= -3

Now let's solve the second possibility which is -x+ 5 = -8

-x + 5 = -8

-x = -8 - 5

-x = -13

again, we cannot leave it with the negative sign so we gonna do the same thing which is divide both sides by -1

-x/-1 = -13/-1

x = 13

Thus, the answer is x= -3 or x = 13

The correct answer is option D

Best of luck with your studies!

Hey there, CrisisOnCats!

Absolute value is when any value that's inside the box, positive or negative, will always come out as positive.
For this one, you solve it as a normal equation, solving for x.
So, 8 = 5 - x
8-5 = 5-5 - x
3 = -x
x = -3
One value can be -3
To find the other value, just find any value that's equal to 8 when added or subtracted from 5, negative or positive.
We have 13 in this case.
5 - 13 is equals to -8 but since it's absolute value, it would be positive 8.
So, the answer is D

How to solve this problem
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

AB = BC = 2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by focusing on the 45 degree angle.  The unknown AB is the side adjacent to this 45 degree angle, and the hypotenuse is known to be 4.

Thus,

cos 45 degrees = adj / hyp = AB / 4, or

AB = 4 cos 45 degrees = 4 (1 / √2) =

    4            √2

----------- * --------- = 2√2

   √2          √2

Since this is a 45-45-90 triangle, the two shorter sides are equal, and so BC = 2√2 also.

Supervisor a earns a flat rate of $25 per hour, while supervisor b earns $20 per hour for the first 30 hours and then 50% more f
mixas84 [53]
Let same number of hours = x, 
since the salary earned is also the same, then
Salary of supervisor A = $25x
Salary of supervisor B = $20(30)+$30(x-30)
Equating
25x=600+30(x-30)
30x-25x=900-600
5x=300
x=60 hours
Check:
Salary of supervisor A = 25*60=1500
Salary of supervisor B =  20*30+30*(60-30)=600+900=1500, ok.
