For
|a|<b
assume
-b<a<b
so
add 5 to both side
|-2-8x|<66
assume
-66<-2-8x<66
add 2 to both sides
-64<-8x<68
divide everyboy by -8, don't forget to flip sign
8>x>-8.5
-8.5<x<8
the solution is all numbers between -8.5 and 8, not including -8.5 and 8
in interval notation: (-8.5,8)
or
S={x|-8.5<x<8}
Set up a proportion. 6/10 = 9/x. cross multiply so x times 6 = 6x. And 10 times 9 = 90. so 6x=90. Then 90 and 6x divided by 6. which gets you x=15. The 9 ft tall elephant will cast a 15 ft shadow.
Answer:
7/12.
Step-by-step explanation:
=x/x+5.
x-5/x+5+4=⅛
x-5/x+9=⅛
x-5=⅛(x+9)
x-5=⅛x+1⅛
x-⅛x=1⅛+5
⅞x=49/8
7x=49
x=7
thus the initial fraction is x/x+5= <u>7</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>2</u>
A rational number is a fraction
