|3 + x| = 5<br> Solve for x
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

x = - 8 , x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the absolute value function always gives a positive result, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, , that is

x + 3 = 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = 2

or

-(3 + x) = 5

- 3 - x = 5 ( add 3 to both sides )

- x = 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 8

What was the original cost of the jacket.
True [87]

Answer:

  (c)  $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Each discounted price corresponds to the original price multiplied by a factor related to the discount. For a discount fraction of 'd', the multiplier is (1 -d).

This means you can use any of the lines in the table to find the original price.

  <u>5% disount</u>: (1 -5%)·p = $76 . . . . where p is the original price

     p = $76/0.95 = $80 . . . . . . . the original price

  <u>10% discount</u>: (1 -10%)·p = $72

     p = $72/0.90 = $80

  <u>25% discount</u>: (1 -25%)·p = $60

     p = $60/0.75 = $80

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The table values for 5% and 10% differ by 5% and $4. That means 5% of the original price is $4. There are two things you can do with this:

  • add back that 5% to the 5%-discounted price: $76 +4 = $80
  • multiply that 5% by 20 to get 100% of the original price: 20(5%) = 20($4) ⇒ 100% = $80.
