Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the  zookeeper ,

The predicted weight of the newborn lion = 2.8 pounds

The actual weight of the newborn lion = 3.5 pounds

Now , the zookeepers's percent error = \dfrac{|Predicted-actual|}{actual}\times100

=\dfrac{|2.8-3.5|}{3.5}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{|-0.7|}{3.5}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{0.7}{3.5}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{100}{5}\%=20\%

Hence, the zookeepers's percent error = 20%.

Solve the equation. Check for extraneous solutions. |x - 4| = 5x + 12<br><br> x = []
kykrilka [37]

The solution of the equation is x = -4/3.

<h3>What does it mean to solve an equation?</h3>

An equation represents equality of two or more mathematical expression.

Solutions to an equation are those values of the variables involved in that equation for which the equation is true.

WE have been given an equation as;

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

In an absolute value equation, we solve the original expression as our first equation. Our second one is that we multiply the right side by -1.

Case 1: original equation

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

x - 4 = 5x + 12

x - 5x = 12 + 4

-4x = 16

x = -4

Case 2: Opposite equation

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

x - 4 = - (5x + 12)

x - 4 = - 5x - 12

x + 5x = -12 + 4

6x = -8

x = -4/3

Now we have two solutions. We need to check for extraneous solutions because of all the manipulations;

Check:

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

use x = -4

|-4 - 4| = 5(-4) + 12

| -8 | = -20 + 12

8 = -8              

Thus, it is Not a solution

Now,  |x - 4| = 5x + 12

use x =  -4/3

| -4/3 - 4| = 5( -4/3) + 12

|-16/3 | = -20/3 + 12

|-16/3 | = 16/3

16/3 = 16/3

Thus, it is the  Solution.
