|4x-5|=9
4x-5=±9
Add 5 to each side
4x-5+5=-9+5
4x=-4
Divided 4 to each side
4x/4=-4/4
x=-1
Or
4x-5=±9
Add 5 to each side
4x-5+5=9+5
4x=14
Divided 4 to each side
4x/4=14/4
x=3.5
Check:
|4x-5|=9
Substitute x with -1
|4(-1)-5|=9
|-4-5|=9
|-9|=9
9=9
Or
|4x-5|=9
Substitute x with 3.5
|4(3.5)-5|=9
|14-5|=9
|9|=9
9=9. As a result, x=-1 and x=3.5 are both correct answers. Hope it help!

Katrina had a bookcase that holds 200 books. She can put 20 books on each shelf. If 20% of the bookcase is empty, how many shelv

Tom [10]

Answer:

First, find 20% of the 200 books. Then, subtract that amount by the total and divide that amount by 20 to receive your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 x 200

/100 = 40

Therefore, there are 40 books missing.

200-40 = 160

160/20 = 8 shelves are filled with books.

There are 10 shelves in total: 160 books are on 8 shelves and 40 books are missing for 2 shelves

Convert the rate 1000 ounces per 2 hours to cups per minutes?

Andrews [41]

125 cups in 120 minutes (because 1000 oz/8 = 125 cups and 2 hrs is 120 minutes)

$\frac{125}{120} = \frac{n}{1}$

now reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5 = (optional)
$\frac{25}{24} = \frac{n}{1}$
So 24n = 25 Divide both sides by 24
n= 1 1/24 cups per minute
