|2x - 5| - 2 = 3 |add 2 to both sides
|2x - 5| = 5 ⇔ 2x - 5 = 5 or 2x - 5 = -5 |add 5 to both sides
2x = 10 or 2x = 0 |divide both sides by 2
x = 5 or x = 0
Difference between 25 and 35 = 35 -25
= 10
Then
percentage by which 25 is less than 35 =(10/35) * 100
= (2/7) * 100
= 200/7
= 28.57 percent
So 25 is 28.57% less than 35.This is the only clear way of solving these kind of problems. I hope you
have understood the method used to solve this problem. Hopefully you
can do such type of problems without needing any help.
A geometry app shows lengths that add up to 27.4 units.
The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the lengths of the segments. Each length is the square root of the sum of squares of the difference in x-coordinates and the difference in y-coordinates.
segment AB: length = √(3²+8²) = √73 ≈ 8.544
segment BC: length = √(7²+4²) = √65 ≈ 8.062
segment CA: length = √(10²+4²) = √116 ≈ 10.770
Then the total perimeter is the sum of these lengths:
... 8.544 +8.062 +10.770 = 27.376 ≈ 27.4 . . . . units
For any point to be in the first quadrant, it must have a positive "x" value and "y" value.
If x = 1 then y = 2, a point with both x and y positive values which would be in the First Quadrant.
It would be 4/12 which is equal to 1/3.
The answer is 1/3
