-1+5x≥-16 I dont know how to solve

Mathematics
1 answer:
olasank [31]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:  x \ge -3

Explanation:

Follow PEMDAS in reverse to undo what's happening to x.

We first add 1 to both sides, then divide both sides by 5 to fully isolate x.

Refer to the steps below to see what I mean.

-1 + 5x \ge -16\\\\5x \ge -16+1\\\\5x \ge -15\\\\x \ge -15/5\\\\x \ge -3\\\\

The inequality sign stays the same the entire time. The only time it flips is when you divide both sides by a negative number.

The solution set for x is anything -3 or larger.

If x was an integer, then we could say the solution set is {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}

The school marching band has a budget of up to $750 to cover 15 new uniforms and
PolarNik [594]

a. The inequality 15x+300≤750 represents the situation.

b. It means that the band can spend at most $30 on each uniform without exceeding the budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Budget = $750

Competition fee = $300

Uniforms to make = 15

Let,

x be the amount for each uniform.

a.  Write an inequality to represent this situation.

Uniforms to make * Cost per uniform + Competition ≤ Budget

15x+300 ≤ 750

The inequality 15x+300≤750 represents the situation.

b.  Solve the inequality and describe what it means in the situation.

15x+300\leq 750\\15x+300-300\leq 750-300\\15x\leq 450

Dividing both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15}\leq \frac{450}{15}\\x\leq 30

It means that the band can spend at most $30 on each uniform without exceeding the budget.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!<br><br> (if you don’t know don’t answer)
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Here are my answers

hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

1. isosceles triangle

2.   3x + 15 = 90       x = 25

     x + 25 = 90        x = 65

     x + 55 = 90        x = 35

3. The size for DAB is 84

My reasoning is I went from one angle to another by subtracting 180 from my answers. For example angle 132 is supplementary to the missing angle next to it. I subtract 180 from 132 and get 48. That already solves the 2 equivalent angles in the triangle so I have 48+48+x = 180 because a full triangle equals 180. I get x = 84 then I do the same thing I did with angle 132. Angle 84 is supplementary to the missing angle next to it. I subtract 84 from 180 and get 96 then go diagonal from angle C (which is 96) to angle A. Those are supplementary so I subtract 96 from 180 and get 84.

what is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (2, 3) ? a. x + 2y = 4 b. x + 2
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

see explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

The given blue line has a slope of m = -1/2.

The line parallel to the given line passing through point (x0,y0)=(2,3) is given by the point-slope form:

(y-y0)=m(x-x0)

substitute values

(y-3) = (-1/2)(x-2)

Expand and transpose

y = (-1/2)x + 1 + 3

y = (-1/2)x + 4  ....................(1)

We choose the second equation b. x+2y=8 and convert to slope-intercept form:

2y=-x+8

y = (-1/2)x + 4, which is exactly equation (1)

So

b. x+2y=8 is the correct answer.

A gardener is planting two types of trees:
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

After 1 year, both the tress will be of the same height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume in x years, both trees  have same height.

Type A  is 7 feet tall and grows at a rate of 8 inches per year.

⇒The growth of tree A in x years = x times  ( Height growth each year)

                                                        = 8 (x)  = 8 x

⇒Actual height of tree A in x years  = Initial Height + Growth in x years

                                                             = 7 + 8 x

or, the height of tree A after  x years  = 7 + 8x

Type B is 9 feet tall and grows at a rate of 6 inches per year.

⇒The growth of tree B in x years = x times  ( Height growth each year)

                                                        = 6 (x)  = 6 x

⇒Actual height of tree B in x years  = Initial Height + Growth in x years

                                                             = 9 + 6 x

or, the height of tree B after  x years  = 9 + 6x

According to the question:

After x years, Height of tree A  =Height of tree B

⇒7 + 8x   = 9 + 6x

or, 8x - 6x = 9 - 7

or, 2 x  = 2

or, x  =  2/2  = 1    ⇒ x  = 1

Hence, after 1 year, both the tress will be of the same height.
