Answer: x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-0.5(2x-6)+9=-8

Distributive property (take off the parentheses)

-x+3+9=-8

Combine like terms

-x+12=-8

Add x on both sides

-x+12+x=-8+x

12=-8+x

Add 9 on both sides

-8+x+8=12+8

<h2>x=20</h2>

-1x+3+9=-8
-1x+12=-8
-12 -12/-20
-x-20


so 20 =x

How are percent error and percent change similar
mihalych1998 [28]
Percent Change = New Value − Old Value|Old Value| × 100%

Example: There were 200 customers yesterday, and 240 today:

240 − 200|200|× 100% = 40200 × 100% = 20%

A 20% increase.

 

Percent Error = |Approximate Value − Exact Value||Exact Value| × 100%

Example: I thought 70 people would turn up to the concert, but in fact 80 did!

|70 − 80||80| × 100% = 1080 × 100% = 12.5%

I was in error by 12.5%

(Without using the absolute value, the error is −12.5%, meaning I under-estimated the value)

The difference between the two is that one states factual calculations and the other is a theoretical guess

Answer:

1 2/3 = m

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = m+3/5 -8/5

Combine terms

2/3 = m-5/5

2/3 = m -1

Add 1 to each side

2/3 +1 = m-1+1

2/3 +3/3 = m

5/3 = m

1 2/3 = m
