<h3>
Answer: Choice C. |x+3| < 5</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
Let's go through each answer choice and solve for x
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Choice A
|x+3| < -5
This has no solutions because |x+3| is never negative. It is either 0 or positive. Therefore, it can never be smaller than -5. So we can rule this out right away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Choice B
|x+8| < 2
-2 < x+8 < 2 .... see note below
-2-8 < x+8-8 < 2-8 ... subtract 8 from all sides
-10 < x < -6
We will have a graph where the open circles are at -10 and -6, with shading in between. This does not fit the original description. So we can rule this out too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Choice C
|x+3| < 5
-5 < x+3 < 5 .... see note below
-5-3 < x+3-3 < 5-3 .... subtracting 3 from all sides to isolate x
-8 < x < 2
We found our match. This graph has open circles at -8 and 2, with shading in between. The open circles indicate to the reader "do not include this value as a solution".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
note: For choices B and C I used the rule that
turns into
where k is some positive number. For choice A, we have k = -5 which is negative so this formula would not apply.
Answer:
C: $3
Step-by-step explanation:
I think you're saying that the chips cost $4, so that's what I'm going with.
You can think of 25% as 1/4 of the whole. So if you divide 4 by 4, you get 1, so that means that 1/4 of the price is 1.
Now you can subtract 1 from 4 : 4-1= $3
Hope that helps!
Answer:
108°
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that circle with center A is a circular arena. Points B, C, D, E and F are 5 lights. These 5 points form regular pentagon (because these 5 lights are equally spaced around the perimeter of the arena).
The sum of all interior angles of pentagon can be calculated using following formula

All interior angles in regular pentagon are of equal measure, so

Thus, the measure of each angle formed by the lights on the perimeter is 108°.

Answer:
x= 70
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question you have to use BODMAS. This indicates that you have to do the equation in the brackets first. Therefore, 3x15= 45. Then you add 25, which will give you 70.
