Answer :
± x = 3

Explanation:
Absolute deviation bars mean that the value inside them will be positive no matter what.

Solve for x:
|x| – 8 = –5
+ 8 + 8
|x| = 3
So ± x = 3

Two of the exterior angles of a triangle are $158^\circ$ and $99^\circ.$ Find the third exterior angle, in degrees.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The third exterior angle is $103^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\theta = 158^o$

$\alpha = 99^o$

Required

The third exterior angle $(\beta)$

The exterior angles of a triangle add up to 360 degrees.

So:

$\theta + \alpha + \beta = 360^o$

Make $\beta$ the subject

$\beta = 360^o - (\theta + \alpha)$

Substitute known values

$\beta = 360^o - (158^o + 99^o)$

$\beta = 103^o$

You buy 24 keyboards for $120 each less 15%. What is your subtotal before taxes?

kotykmax [81]

<span>First, you need to take the 15% off from the $120 so it will make it easier for you to calculate later. Since there is 15% off, your $120 becomes only $102. Since your keyboards only costs $102 each now, you just have to multiply the number of keyboards you wanted to the less price. $102 multiplied by 24 keyboards is equals to $2,448. We don’t have to add taxes because it is stated that we are just looking for SUBTOTAL before taxes. The answer is A. $2,448. <span>
