Number of defective chips = 8% of 270,000

= $\frac{8}{100}$ x 270000

= 8 x 2700

= 21,600

Thus, 21,600 defective chips were made.

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

11x - 34 and 7x - 2 are vertical angles and congruent, thus

11x - 34 = 7x - 2 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

4x - 34 = - 2 ( add 34 to both sides )

4x = 32 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 8

-----------------------

11x - 34 = 11(8) - 34 = 88 - 34 = 54

18y and 11x - 34 are adjacent angles and supplementary , thus

18y + 54 = 180 ( subtract 54 from both sides )

18y = 126 ( divide both sides by 18 )

y = 7

Solve for u.<br> |5u + 15| = 10

Rudiy27

Answer:

-1 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

You must account for negative u values (which the abs nullifies).

So $5u+15=10$ and $5u+15=-10$ is what we have to solve for.

As for usual equations, isolate the u variable.

5u + 15 = 10

5u + 15 (-15) = 10 (-15)

5u = -5

$\frac{5u}{5}=\frac{-5}{1}$

u = -1

Now you can do the same operation for the other equation and you should get u = -5.

Let's make sure we did it right by replacing u with one of our solutions (-1 or -5).

$|5(-1)+15| = 10\\10 = 10$

That's true. What about the other one?

$|5(-5)+15|=10\\10=10$
