Answer:
-5 < x < 5
Step-by-step explanation:
|x| < 5
This can be split into two cases: x < 5 and -x < 5 because |x| could be either x or -x depending on whether x is positive, negative, or 0. Solving the second one we get x > -5 so the answer is -5 < x < 5.
You can solve this by using "similar triangles".
In triangle ABC, we are looking for side AC which is x. Side AC is similar to side DF in triangle EDF.
You can solve for side x by picking two sides in triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle EDF. This is what I mean:

Substitute for the values of AC, BC, DF and EF:


To solve for y, do the same thing. Pick two sides on triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle DEF.

Substitute for the values and solve:


We have the value x to be 5.5 units and y to be 6 units.
Answer:
x=−2 or x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x2−2x−3=5
Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.
x2−2x−3−5=5−5
x2−2x−8=0
Step 3: Factor left side of equation.
(x+2)(x−4)=0
Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.
x+2=0 or x−4=0
x=−2 or x=4
That would be 0.24(0.4). First, estimate the result: 0.24 is about 1/4, and (1/4)(0.4) is about 0.1.
0.24(0.4) = 0.096 (which agrees with the estimated answer, 0.1).
