Answer:

c )

Step-by-step explanation:

To find equivalent inequalities, we are looking to isolate x on the left side.

a) x < 4 ✅

b) x -1 < 3 <u>add</u> 1 to both sides x -1 +1 < 3 +1 result x < 4 ✅

c) x + 1 < 4 <u>subtract</u> 1 from both sides x + 1 -1 < 4 -1 result x < 3 ❌

d) x - 2 < 2 <u>add</u> 2 to both sides x - 2 +2 < 2+2 result x < 4 ✅

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28. What are the integers?

Fantom [35]

The correct option is B): "<span>Let x = 1st integer. Let x + 2 = 2nd integer.</span><span>"
Given that "The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28."

Now the difference between two odd numbers is 2. So this means that one odd number has to be greater than the other by 2.

Let the smaller number be 'X' therefore the bigger number will be 'x+2' thus x + (x+2) = 28

therefore, x + x + 2 = 28 now we subtract "2" from both the sides
therefore, 2x = 26 now dividing throughout by 2 we get:

x = 13 therefore, x + 2 = 13+2
= 15

therefore, the numbers are 13 AND 15</span>

LiRa [457]

<span>Find the focus and directrix of the parabola with the given equation. Then graph the parabola.
y^=-12x
**
y^2=-12x
This is an equation of a parabola with a horizontal axis of symmetry.
Its standard form: (y-k)^2=4p(x-h), with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
For given equation:

Vertex(0,0)
4p=12
p=3
Focus:(-3,0)
Directrix: x=3
