x*-8 would be -8x

then you would divide -8 by both sides

should get a decimal as your answer I believe

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

X + 4y = 9 Convert to slope / intercept form:-

y = (-1/4)x + 9/4

so the line perpendicular to this will have a slope -1 /(-1/4) = 4

so our equation will be y - y1 = 4(x - x1) where x1y1 is a point on the line.
x1 = 8 and y1 = -3:-
y - -3 = 4(x - 8)

y = 4x - 35
-4x + y = -35 is the answer

A Poker club has 10 members. A president and a vice-president are to be selected. In how many ways can this be done if everyone

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

90 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total of 10 members, and we want to find how many groups of 2 members we can have, where the order of each member in the group of 2 is important, so we have a permutation problem.

To solve this problem, we need to calculate a permutation of 10 choose 2.

The formula for a permutation of n choose p is:

$P(n, p) = n! / (n - p)!$
