Answer:
When we divide by a negative value, the sign for the inequality changes.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x < -8, to solve we would divide by 2 and receive x < -4. However, in solving -2x < 8, we would divide by negative 2, which would result in x > -4. Clearly, these sequences provide opposite answers and that is a rule to inequalities, that when dividing by a negative number, we must flip the less than/greater than sign.
Answer:
The first equation must be multiplied by -5 to eliminate x variable by addition
Step-by-step explanation:
4 x - 3 y = 1 (1)
5 x + 4 y = 9 (2)
If the second equation is multiplied by 4
5x+4y=9. ×4
We have,
20x+16y=36 (3)
The first equation should be multiplied by -5 to eliminate x variable by addition
4x-3y=1 × -5
We have
-20x+15y=-5 (4)
Add equation (3) and (4) to eliminate x variable
20x+16y=36
-20x+15y=-5
31y=31
Divide both sides by 31
y=1
Substitute y=1 into equation (1)
4 x - 3 y = 1
4x-3(1)=1
4x-3=1
4x=1+3
4x=4
Divide both sides by 4
x=1
2.25h(60m/hr)(1/3)=45m
So Rick spends 45 minutes studying math per night.
Even numbers are numbers that can be divisible by 2, so in this case
28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38
^ are even numbers because they can be divided by 2
