Answer:
x = 8
x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate into two equations:

x - 5 = 3
x - 5 = -3

Now solve:
x - 5 = 3
+ 5 +5
x = 8

x - 5 = -3
+ 5 + 5
x = 2

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 8 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know x - 5 = 3 or x - 5 = -3.

Possibility 1:

Step 1: Add 5 to both sides.

$x-5+5=3+5$
$x=8$

Possibility 2:

Step 1: Add 5 to both sides.

$x-5+5=-3+5$
$x=2$

Step 2: Check if both solutions apply to original equation.

$|8-5|=3$
$|3|=3$
$3=3$
$|2-5|=3$
$|-3|=3$
$3=3$

Members of Alachua District Choir were asked, when given the choice between Romanticism or Gothic

zalisa [80]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{cccc}{} & {Romanticism} & {Gothic} & {Total} & {Males} & {48} & {63} & {111}& {Females} & {59} & {62} & {121} & {Total} & {107} & {125} & {232} \ \end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Romanticism

$Male = 48$

$Female = 59$

Gothic

$Male = 63$

$Female = 62$

Required

Complete the table (See attachment for complete question)

The table can be represented as:

$\begin{array}{cccc}{} & {Romanticism} & {Gothic} & {Total} & {Males} & {48} & {63} & {111}& {Females} & {59} & {62} & {121} & {Total} & {107} & {125} & {232} \ \end{array}$

The "total" column represents the number of males and female sampled, respectively.

$Male = 48 + 63 = 111$

$Female = 59 + 62 = 121$

The "total" row represents the number of Romanticism and Gothic sampled, respectively.

$Romanticism = 48 + 59 = 107$

$Gothic = 63 + 62 = 125$

The overall sample is calculated by adding up the number of males and females or the number of Romanticism and Gothic

$Overall = Male + Female$

$Overall = 111 + 121 = 232$

$Overall = Romanticism + Gothic$

$Overall = 107 + 125 = 232$

PLEASE ANSWER ALL

mars1129 [50]

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry: is the line that makes the parabola split in exactly half and lines up with the vertex. For that parabola x=1 is the line of symetry.

The vertex is where the minimum of the graph is, on this graph you can eyeball it to be (1,-9)

The x-intercept is where y is 0 so that's where the lines intersex with the x-axis. (-2,0) and (4,0)

The y-intercept of the function is where x is 0 and where the parabola intersects with the y-axis. On this graph it would be (0,-8)

Hope that helps :)
