Step-by-step explanation:

Yes it is .

7x+9 _> 7•3

7x+9_> 21

7x_> 21 - 9

7x _> 12 divide both side with 7 to find x

then x _> 1.4

which mean x can be any number that is greater than or equal to 1.4 so 2 is correct .

Hi Student!

Looking at the problem statement, we can see that they are asking for us to determine whether x = 2 is a solution of the expression provided or not. The first step that we take is plugging in all the values which means that we take 2 and plug it into all of the x's that we have in the expression that we provided. Then we simplify that expression down on both sides. If the expression in the end results to true then x = 2 is a solution of the expression but if it defaults to false than x = 2 isn't a solution.

Plug in the values

$7x + 9 \ge 7 * 3$

$7(2) + 9 \ge 7 * 3$

Simplify both sides

$14 + 9 \ge 7 * 3$

$23 \ge 21$

The final expression states that 23 is greater than or equal to 21 which is true. Therefore, x = 2 is a solution of the expression that was provided in the problem statement.

Help with some algebra please?

kipiarov [429]

Vertex form is f(x) = a(x - b)^2 + c where the vertex is (b, c) and a is some constant.

So for the first part we have f(x) = a(x + 6)^2 - 1

for root -9:- a( -9+6)^2 - 1 = 0
9a - 1 = 0 , a = 1/9

The other 3 are derived in the same way.
so required equation is f(x) = (1/9)(x + 6)^2 - 1

write a equation in a point-slope form fir the line through the given point with the given slope (9,-1);m=4/3

gavmur [86]

Answer:

y +1 = 4/3( x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form of an equation is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on a line

y - -1 = 4/3( x-9)

y +1 = 4/3( x-9)

Translate the following into an algebraic expression:

Nata [24]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of minutes

y: total cost

We write the algebraic expression that models the problem.

We have then:

$y = 10 * (\frac{20}{60}) x$

Simplifying we have:

$y = (\frac{10}{3}) x$

Then, by the time the cost is equal to $ 300 we have:

$300 = (\frac{10}{3}) x$

From here, we clear the value of x.

Answer:

an algebraic expression for the problem is:

$300 = (\frac{10}{3}) x$

What are the x-intercepts of y=2x^2+6x-20?

NISA [10]

Answer:

the x-intercepts are -5 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=2x^2+6x-20$

x-intercept is when y is set equal to zero

So, y = 0

$0 = 2x^2+6x-20$

$2x^3+6x-20 = 0\\Taking \ 2 \ common\\2(x^2+3x-10) = 0\\Dividing \ both \ sides \ by \ 2\\x^2+3x-10 = 0\\Using \ mid\ term \ break \ formula\\x^2+5x-2x-10 = 0\\x(x+5)-2(x+5)=0\\Taking \ (x+5) \ common\\(x+5)(x-2) = 0$

Either,

x+5 = 0 OR x-2 = 0

x = -5 OR x = 2

So, the x-intercepts are -5 and 2

One fourth of a box of cereal was shared equally among 3 people. How much cereal did each person get?

just olya [345]

Okay so the problem starts you off with the fraction (1/4). Sharing equally among 3 people would mean that you'd want to divide it by three so your equation would initially look like (1/4) / 3. Having two dividing signs is confusing so what you do is change the dividing into multiplying by the reciprocal of 3 = 1/3... This would make your expression (1/4) * (1/3) and when you simplify this you should get 1/12 as the answer.
