Answer: x < 1/2 or x < 0.5

The graph is below

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

There are two ways to solve this

Method 1

5 - 2x > 4

-2x > 4-5

-2x > -1

x < -1/(-2) .... note the inequality sign flips

x < 1/2

x < 0.5

The inequality sign flips whenever we divide both sides by a negative number.

----------------------

Method 2

5 - 2x > 4

5 - 2x+2x > 4+2x

5 > 4+2x

4+2x < 5

2x < 5-4

2x < 1

x < 1/2

x < 0.5

----------------------

To graph this on a number line, we'll plot an open hole at 1/2 or 0.5 on the number line. Then we shade to the left to represent all values smaller than 1/2 = 0.5

The open hole signals that 0.5 itself is NOT part of the solution set.

See the diagram below.

Need help ASAP!! Write an informal proof to show triangles ABC and DEF are similar.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Δ ABC and Δ DEF are similar because their corresponding sides are proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional which means the corresponding sides have equal ratios

In the two triangles ABC and DEF

∵ AB = 4 units

∵ DE = 2 units

∴ $\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

∵ BC = 6 units

∵ EF = 3 units

∴ $\frac{BC}{EF}=\frac{6}{3}=2$

∵ CA = 2 units

∵ FD = 1 units

∴ $\frac{CA}{FD}=\frac{2}{1}=2$

∴ $\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{EF}=\frac{CA}{FD}=2$

∵ All the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal

∴ The corresponding sides of the two triangles are proportional

∴ Δ ABC is similar to Δ DEF

A pen costs $.59. How much would a dozen pens cost?

irinina [24]

Y= $0.59(x)
y= $0.59(12)
y=?

y is the total
x is the amount of pen

so you multiply the cost of each pen with the amount of pens
$0.59 times 12

matrenka [14]

To find percent error, you subtract the actual number from your estimate, take the absolute value, and divide by the actual number.

l 96 - 118 l
l -22 l
l 22 l
l 22 l / 118
0.19% (this was rounded)

Hope this helps!
