PLSSS HELP ME WITH MATH

Mathematics
1 answer:
labwork [276]2 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

always remember, equations and inequalities are like a scale with 2 pans (left and right).

a variable is like a placeholder, an empty spot on the pans. and the expressions on both sides are kind of the conditions for the things to put in these empty spots so that the status of the scale stays unchanged.

for an equation the scale has to stay balanced all the time.

and in an inequality one side is heavier that the other (it normally does not matter how much heavier) with "<" or ">" signs, or the scale can be also balanced with "<=" or ">=" signs. just the other side must never be heavier.

A

so, in our case here

2x - 5 = 3

yes, the solution (the ONLY solution, actually) is x = 4. no other value of x allows the scale to be balanced.

2x - 5 >= 3

well, since it is a ">=" sign, we can be lazy and treat it like the equation above, and x = 4 is therefore a valid solution for the inequality too.

but so is every other value of x that makes the left side "heavier". what about e.g. 5 ?

2×5 - 5 >= 3

10 - 5 >= 3

5 >= 3

true, great ! so, e.g. x = 5 is also a valid solution.

what else ?

let's simplify the inequality

2x - 5 >= 3

2x >= 8

x >= 4

so, really every value of x that is greater or equal to 4 is a valid solution for the inequality.

B

-2x - 5 = 3

yes, the solution (the ONLY solution, actually) is x = -4. no other value of x allows the scale to be balanced.

-2x - 5 >= 3

well, since it is a ">=" sign, we can be lazy and treat it like the equation above, and x = -4 is therefore a valid solution for the inequality too.

but so is every other value of x that makes the left side "heavier". what about e.g. -5 ?

-2×-5 - 5 >= 3

remember, -×- = +

10 - 5 >= 3

5 >= 3

true, great ! so, e.g. x = -5 is also a valid solution.

what else ?

let's simplify the inequality

-2x - 5 >= 3

-2x >= 8

x <= -4

a multiplication or division by a negative value flips the inequality sign, because such an operation makes a light weight heavy and a heavy weight light.

so, really every value of x that is less or equal to -4 is a valid solution for the inequality.

Please help with two and four
bagirrra123 [75]
Question 1)
575 = 100%
57.5= 10%
57.5 × 2= 115 (20%)

question 2)
575=100%
57.5=10%
115=20%
5.75=1%.

5.75 × 4=22.8 (4%)

22.8 (4%) + 115 (20%) =137.8(24%) which would be rounded up to 138

hope this helps♡♡~~Chyna

C(n)=−6+5(n−1) find the 8th term in the sequence
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 8

c(n) = -6+5(n - 1)

c(8) = -6+5(8 - 1)

c(8) = -6+5( 7)

c(8) = -6+5(7)

c(8) = -6+35

c(8) =  29

============

Here is the series.

-6

-1
