-1+5x≥-16 I dont know how to solve

Mathematics

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, ...}

You are biking to the park. After six minutes 40% of the distance still need to be traveled. How long does it take to bike to th
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

y = (100-10x)\%

It takes <em>10 minutes</em> to the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken = 6 minutes

Distance left to be traveled = 40%

To find:

The equation to represent the distance y, that still needs to be traveled after x minutes.

Solution:

As per given statement, distance traveled in 6 minutes = 60%

We can say that:

Distance traveled each minute = \frac{60\%}{6} = 10%

After 1 minute, distance traveled = 10%

Distance left = 100 - 10 = 90%

After 2 minutes, distance traveled = 20%

Distance left = 100 - 20 = 80%

After x minutes, distance traveled = 10x%

Distance left, y = (100 - 10x)%

Therefore, the equation is:

y = (100-10x)\%

Time taken by the bike to reach to the park can be found by putting y = 0 (i.e. distance left to be traveled = 0)

0 = 100 -10x\\\Rightarrow 10x = 100\\\Rightarrow x = \bold{10\ minutes}

Algebra 1 9th grade<br>-2x=-18/3​
cupoosta [38]
You would just decide both sides by 2.

-x = -9/3 ⇨ -3
Since both numbers are negative, the product becomes a positive.
x=3

Hope this helped!
