Answer:

12.5 inches of gold chain.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the remaining chain of gold we need to calculate

8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8 of 20 inches

then multiply:

20 * 5/8 =  100/8

100/8 = 12.5 inches

Someone please help me with this! <br>|-2-8x|-5&lt;61
Mrac [35]
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}

can anyone help me and show work for this Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem

Hypotenuse² = base² + altitude²

                      = 9² + 10²

                      = 81 + 100

                      = 181

hypotenuse = √181
