The absolute value of -5 is 5.
Knowing this we know that |5| -|-5| is 5 - 5
5 - 5 = 0
1. x=50 2. x=4 hope this helps:)
Let w be the additional watts you can add on the circuit.
1100 + w < 1800 (write the inequality)
-1100 -1100 ( - 1100 from each side)
w < 700 (simplify)
ANSWER:
You can add up to 700 watts to the circuit, which means that you can also plug in the clock radio and the blender.
LOOK BACK:
You can check that your answer is correct by adding the numbers of watts used by the microwave oven, clock radio and blender.
1100 + 50 + 300 = 1450
The circuit will not overload because the total wattage is less than 1800 watts.
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. Let's round the value to the nearest hundredth. As you can see, the digit 8 is in the thousandths place and is greater than 5, therefore, you must round up to 0.038.
2. Now express the value as a single digit times a power of 10, as following:
x
Therefore, the answer is: x
