The required solution of the inequality is x < - 6.

Given that,
To solve the equation −2x − 4 > 8.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

Inequality can be described as the consideration of the equation including the symbol of ( ≤, ≥, <, >) instead of the equal sign in an equation.

Here,
The given equation
−2x − 4 > 8
adding 4 on both sides
-2x > 12
multiply by -1
when multiplying the negative -1 it will change the behavior of the inequality, so.
2x < - 12
Divide by 2 into both sides
x < - 6

Thus, the required solution of the inequality is x < - 6.

The monthly charge for a waste collection service is 1830 dollars for 100 kg of waste and 2460 dollars for 135 kg of waste. (a)

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$C=18w+30$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that The monthly charge for a waste collection service is 1830 dollars for 100 kg of waste

So, $(x_1,y_1)=(100,1830)$

We are also given that The monthly charge for a waste collection service is 2460 dollars for 135 kg of waste.

So, $(x_2,y_2)=(135,2460)$

We are supposed to find a linear model for the cost, C, of waste collection as a function of the number of kilograms, w.

So, we will use two point slope form :

Formula : $y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

Substitute the values

$y-1830=\frac{2460-1830}{135-100}(x-100)$

$y-1830=18(x-100)$

$y-1830=18x-1800$

$y=18x-1800+1830$

$y=18x+30$

y denotes the cost

x denotes the weight

So, Replace y with C and x with w

$C=18w+30$

So, a linear model for the cost, C, of waste collection as a function of the number of kilograms, w is $C=18w+30$

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below (5x+1)^2=7?<br><br> Check all that apply.

stiv31 [10]

(5x+1)² = 7; expand: 25x² + 10x +1 = 7 or 25x² + 10x -6 = 0

Solve this quadratic for x:

x = [-b + √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and x = [-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
Plug the values and you'll find :
x = (- √7 - 1)/5 (answer C)
x = (+√7 -1)/5 (answer E)
