Answer:
improper question
Step-by-step explanation:
-_-
IF THE BOOK COSTS 26.50 AND YOU GET A DISCOUNT OF 8%, YOU NEED TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IS 8% OF 26.50, WHICH IS IS 2.12 DISCOUNT
SO YOUR BOOK COSTS NOW 26.50-2.12=24.38
NOW, IF YOU WILL PAY 8% TAXES, EIGHT PERCENT OF 24.38 IS 1.95
YOUR BOOK WILL COST 24.38+1.95=26.33
If the question is looking for an absolute value then the answer is 12.
Absolute value |-a| = a.
You can solve all together or separate.
so you do
8<4-x. subtract
-4 -4
4<-x divide
-1. -1
4>x
-4>x since you divide by negative the sign flips.
4-x<10
-4. -4
-x<6
-1 -1
x>-6
8<4-x<10
-4 -4. -4 subtract 4 on all 3
4<-x<6 divide -1 to all 3
-4>x>-6 you flip sign since you divide by negative.
