How do you do this equation: 9|5x+8|=54

Mathematics

Sergio [31]3 years ago

Answer (2 answers):

x = -2/5,  x = -14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to try and get the absolute value by itself on one side and everything else that's not inside the absolute value on the other side.

9|5x+8|=54

|5x+8| = 54/9

|5x+8| = 6

Remember how absolute values turn everything positive? For example

|-4|=4, but |4|=4 as well. So we must do the same to our problem by splitting up the absolute equation into two parts.

|5x+8| = 6     and     |-(5x+8)| = 6

now solve the first equation.

(Just remove the absolute value sign and solve it normally)

5x+8 = 6

5x = -2

x = -2/5

Now solve the other equation

-(5x+8) = 6

-5x - 8 = 6

-5x = 14

x = -14/5

What percent of 5.00 is 0.35?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Let's take the percentage as x

(x / 100) * 5 = 0.35
x / 100 = 0.07
x = 7

therefore the percentage is 7%

A square has a perimeter of 12x + 52 units. Which expression represents the side length of the square in units?
DochEvi [55]
1. Find the surface area of the rectangular prism. (1 point) 
<span>Measures are 2, 3, and 4 inches. Let W=2, L=3, H=4 </span>
<span>a rectangular has six sides, the total surface area is equal to 6 plains: </span>
<span>2*W*L + 2*L*H + 2*L*W </span>
<span>= 2*(W*L + L*H + L*W) </span>
<span>= 2 * (2*3 + 3*4 + 4*2) </span>
<span>= 2 * ( 6 + 12 + 8 ) </span>
<span>= 2 * 26 </span>
<span>= 52 ................... the last choice </span>

<span>2. A cube has a side length of x feet. Which expression represents the surface area of the cube? (1 point) </span>

<span>Area of one face = x^2, Total Area of 6 faces = 6*x^2 = 2x^2 units </span>


<span>3. Find the surface area of the cylinder. Use 3.14 for pi . (1 point) </span>
<span>Length: 15 cm, Diameter: 2 cm </span>
<span>A cylinder has 3 surfaces: two circles + one curved surface area </span>
<span>...... two circles of 2cm diameter (1cm radius) </span>
<span>A = pi*r^2 = 3.14*1*1 = 3.14 sq. cm ...... two circles' area = 6.28 sq.cm </span>
<span>Curved surface area = circumference * length </span>
<span>.... circumference = pi*d = 3.14 * 2 = 6.28 cm ......... length = 15 </span>
<span>curved surface area = 6.28*15 = 94.2 sq. cm </span>

<span>Add both for total surface area = 6.28 + 94.2 = 100.48 sq.cm </span>


<span>4. The bottom of a shopping bag measures 8 inches by 10 inches. The bag has a height of 12 inches. How much paper is needed to make the bag? (1 point) </span>
<span>two pieces of paper ... one for bottom = 8*10 = 80 sq.in </span>
<span>the other ... height * perimeter of the bottom = 12*(2*(10+8)) = 12 * 2 * 18 = 432 sq.in </span>
<span>Add both: 80 + 432 = 512 sq.in <<<<<<<<<<<</span>
