Solve your equation step-by-step.
|x|−8=−5
Add 8 to both sides.
|x|−8+8=−5+8
|x|=3
Solve Absolute Value.
|x|=3
We know either x=3 or x=−3
x=3(Possibility 1)
x=−3(Possibility 2)
㏒3(9)=㏒3(3)²=2
(2x)²=16 (the exponent 2 in this equation is the result of step 1)
2x=4
x=2
53(1 + x)
the 53 is the cost of the meal without the tax
the x is gonna be the percentage of the tip u want to leave...in decimal form
so lets say u are going to leave a 5% tip.....5% = 0.05
ur equation would be 53(1 + 0.05) = 53(1.05) = 55.65...cost of meal and tip
So... the radiator has 15 liters of 70% antifreeze.. but needs an 80% antifreeze
well, so, you need to drain some and put some with higher percentage, seems to be, you will end up at the same 15 liters, possible the radiator's capacity, of 80% antifreeze
so, the same amount going out, of 70% is the same amount going in, of 100% antifreeze
now.. let's use the decimal format for the percents, or 70% is 70/100 or 0.7 and so on

so.. let's subtract, from the current solution, 0.7x and add 1x or x, our antifreeze concentration amount, should be 12 though
10.5 - 0.7x + x = 12
solve for "x"
