There are 2 5-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 5 = 10 total seats. There are 14 people needing transportation leaving 14 - 10 = 4 who will have to find other transportation.

First, solve for \( \left|x + 8\right| \):

\( \left|x + 8\right| \) + 4 = 4
\( \left|x + 8\right| \) = 4 - 4
\( \left|x + 8\right| \) = 0

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (x + 8) must equal + 0 or -0 for \( \left|x + 8\right| \) to equal 0:

So, x = -8 or x = -8.

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr² where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))². If the diameter of the logo increases by 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $48 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$48 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$720}{100} \) = $7.20 on the second shirt.

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{90mi}{30mph} \)
3 hours
