Special precision bolts are made by another machine. These are for jobs that require more exact measurements. The bolts must be

within 0.01 mm of 8 mm. This is represented by |x – 8| < 0.01. 

Write this inequality as a compound inequality without absolute value bars.






Solve the inequality.






Graph the solutions on a number line.






What do the solutions of the inequality mean for the bolt?

The absolute value of a number x is the positive version of that number. So, if x is positive, its absolute value is x itself. If x is negative, its absolute value is -x, so that it will be positive again.

So, if the absolute value of a number is smaller than a certain quantity, i.e. |x| it means that the positive version of x is less than a.

So, if x is positive, the inequality becomes x. If x is negative, the inequality becomes -x-a.

So, as a compound inequality, we have

|x|

So, in your case, we have

|x-8|

Add 8 to all sides in this inequality:

8-0.01 < x < 8+0.01 \iff 7.79 < x

So, on a number line, you must higlight all numbers between 7.79 and 8.01, endpoints excluded.

Conceptually, this means that the bolt measurement should be exactly 8mm, but you can accept bolts that are 0.01 millimeters shorter of larger.

When you divide two fractions, you're actually multiplying one of them by the reciprocal of the other. First, find the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping it upside down. Then, multiply it by the first fraction. (Numerator x numerator and denominator x denominator)

\frac{-7}{12} ÷ \frac{2}{3}   Replace the second fraction with it's reciprocal
\frac{-7}{12} x \frac{3}{2}   Multiply (-7 x 3 and 12 x 2)
\frac{-21}{24} Both 21 and 24 are divisible by three, so divide them by 3

Nooha purchased a tv for $9000 and sold it at a profit of 8% find selling price ​
miskamm [114]

Answer:

720

Step-by-step explanation:

because 8% of 9000$ is 720$.

another way.

Step 1: Our output value is 9000.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$9000=100$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=.8%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$9000=100%(1)$.

$x=.8%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

Therefore, 8%of $9000$ is $720
