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

Thank you for using Brainly.

May I please get the answers to the first 4 of these problems?
Ugo [173]
Given:
A(3,0)
B(1,-2)
C(3,-5)
D(7,-1)

1) reflect across x=-4
essentially calculate the difference between the x=-4 line and Px and "add" it in the other direction to x=-4
A(-4-(3-(-4)),0)=A(-11,0)
B(-4-(1-(-4)),-2)=B(-9,-2)
C(-4-(3-(-4),-5))=C(11,-5)
D(-4-(7-(-4)),-1)=D(-15,-1)

2) translate (x,y)->(x-6,y+8)
A(-3,8)
B(-5,6)
C(-3,3)
D(1,7)

3) clockwise 90° rotation around (0,0), flip the x&y coordinates and then decide the signs they should have based on the quadrant they should be in
A(0,-3)
B(-2,-1)
C(-5,-3)
D(-1,-7)

D) Dilation at (0,0) with scale 2/3, essentially multiply all coordinates with the scale, the simple case of dilation, because the center point is at the origin (0,0)
A((2/3)*3,(2/3)*0)=A(2,0)
B((2/3)*1,(2/3)*-2)=B(2/3,-4/3)
C((2/3)*3,(2/3)*-5)=C(2,-10/3)
D((2/3)*7,(2/3)*-1)=D(14/3,-2/3)

morpeh [17]
They would meet after 4 hours, as 65 x 4 = 260. And 60 x 4 = 240. If you add these, they become a value of 500. This also answers the 2nd question ; 65x + 60x = 500.

linear equation in slope intercept form for this situation. mary is selling popcorn for $5.00 per bucket and hotdogs for $4.75 e
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

standard form to represent the situation equation is 5a + 4.75b = 72.50

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

selling popcorn = $5.00

hotdogs = $4.75

makes =  $72.50

solution

we consider here number of bucket sold = a

and number of hotdogs sold = b

Then after 1 hour she makes $72.50

equation for number of popcorn and number of hotdogs sold after an 1 hour  is express as

$72.50 = number of bucket sold × price of popcorn per bucket + number of hotdogs sold × price of hotdog   ...............................1

put here value and we get

72.50 = 5 × a + (4.75) × b  

5 a + 4.75 b = 72.50

so here equation is equivalent to the standard form in the  linear equation that is express  ( Ax + By = C   )

and here A and B are non zero with  A, B and C all three are real number

so standard form to represent the situation equation is 5a + 4.75b = 72.50

A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 207 kilometers per hour. What is this speed in meters per second? At this speed
Mamont248 [21]
<span>The speed is 57.5 m/s and the parachutist will fall 1150 m in 20 seconds.

Explanation<span>:
We start out with the ratio 207 km/1 hr.

We know that 1 km = 1000 m; this means 207 km = 207*1000 = 207000 m. This gives us 207000 m/1 hr.

We know that 1 hr = 60 minutes, so we have 207000 m/60 min.

We also know that 1 min = 60 seconds, so 60 min = 60*60 = 3600 sec; this gives us 207000 m/3600 sec.

Dividing this, we get 57.5 m/s.

In 20 seconds, the parachutist will fall 57.5(20) = 1150 m.</span></span>
