Helga [31]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 18 or x = -12.

Step-by-step explanation:

||x-3|-5| = 10 only if |x-3|-5 = 10 or |x-3|-5 = -10, i.e., if |x-3|=15 or |x-3|=-5; but |x-3| cannot be equal to -5, because |x-3| should be a non-negative value. Therefore, the first equation is true only if |x-3|=15. |x-3| = 15 only if x-3 = 15 or x-3 = -15, i.e., x = 18 or x = -12.  We can verify this in the following way: ||18-3|-5|=||15|-5|=|10|=10 and ||-12-3|-5|=||-15|-5|=|15-5|=|10|=10. This verify that our solution is correct.

For which equations is 8 a solution? Select the four correct answer
maxonik [38]

Answer:

I <em>believe</em> the answers are= 2, 3, 6, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

For #2, you would subtract 2 from both sides. 10-2=8. x=8.

For #3, you would add 4 to both sides of the equation, making the final answer: x=8

For #6, you would divide both sides by 3. 24 divided by three is 8.

For #8, I multiplied the whole equation by 8, which is the denominator of x/8. 1 times 8=8. The final answer would be x=8.

Hope this helps!

Ainat [17]
(3+x)+x=10.5

Simplify

2x = 7.5

x = 3.75

Plug in for x

(3 + 3.75) + 3.75 = 10.5

6.75 + 3.75 = 10.5

The heavier packet of fruit is 6.75 kg.
