Finding the solution algebraically

To answer this inequality, we can follow the next steps:

1. Multiply by 7 both sides of the inequality:

7\cdot\frac{(x-7)}{2}

2. Multiply by 2 both sides of the inequality:

7\cdot2\cdot^{\cdot}\frac{(x-7)}{2}

3. Apply the distributive property at the left side of the inequality:

7\cdot x-7\cdot7

4. Add 49 to both sides of the inequality:

7x-49+49

5. Finally, divide both sides of the inequality by 7:

\frac{7x}{7}

We can graph this inequality in the number line as follows:

Notice the parenthesis indicating that the solution is the number below 131/7 (but not equal to 131/7). <em>In interval notation the solution is</em>:

(-\infty,\frac{131}{7})(-\infty,18\frac{5}{7})

Or, approximately:

(-\infty,18.7142857143)

The number 131/7 in decimal is equivalent to 18.7142857143, so the graph of the solution is given by graph A (we can see that there are seven divisions between 18 and 19; since we have that the shaded division is in the 5th division, then, we have 5/7 = 0.714285714286, that is, the decimal part of the above number).

We can express the number 131/7 as a mixed number as follows:

\frac{131}{7}=\frac{126}{7}+\frac{5}{7}=18+\frac{5}{7}=18\frac{5}{7}

Again, <em>notice also the symbol for the left part of the interval notation is a parenthesis since the interval is open at the point 131/7 = 18 + 5/7</em>.

Finding the solution graphically

To find the solution graphically, we can represent the inequality as two lines as follows:

y=\frac{x-7}{2},y=\frac{41}{7}

Then, if we graph the first line, we can find the x- and the y-intercepts to find two points to graph the line. We have that the x- and the y-intercepts are:

The x-intercept is (that is, when y = 0):

0=\frac{x-7}{2}\Rightarrow x-7=0\Rightarrow x=7

Then, the x-intercept is (7, 0), and the y-intercept (the point on the graph when x = 0) is:

y=\frac{x-7}{2}\Rightarrow y=\frac{0-7}{2}\Rightarrow y=-\frac{7}{2}

Then, the y-intercept is (0, -7/2).

The other line is given by:

y=\frac{41}{7}=\frac{35}{7}+\frac{6}{7}=5\frac{6}{7}

With this information, we can graph both lines:

And we can see that the point where the two lines coincide is:

(\frac{131}{7},\frac{41}{7})

Then, <em>the values for x of the line (x-7)/2 [that is, the values of y = (x-7)/2] that are less than y = 41/7, represented as</em>:

\frac{(x-7)}{2}

Are those values of x less than 131/7, or the solution is also (we express the solution as a fraction or a mixed number as follows) (the same solution):

(-\infty,\frac{131}{7})or(-\infty,18\frac{5}{7})

In summary, we have that the solution to the inequality is:

As an inequality:

x

In interval notation:

(-\infty,18\frac{5}{7})or(-\infty,\frac{131}{7})

And the representation of the solution on the number line is (option A):

Which statement is true? 5 6 8 27 을 ll &lt; - 3 8 4 8 6 6
Neko [114]
Fractions

We are going to be checking each statement in order to find which of them are correct:

<h2>5/6 < 6/8 - 5/6 is smaller than 6/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is smaller than 5/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>4/6 < 5/8 - 4/6 is smaller than 5/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 5/8 is smaller than 4/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>2/6 = 3/8 - 2/6 is equal to 3/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is bigger than 2/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>3/6 = 4/8 - 3/6 is equal to 4/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 4/8 is equal to 3/6. Then this statement is true.

<h2>Answer: 3/6 = 4/8</h2>

-3B+5=13<br> How do I solve for B
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

b = -2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 5 from both sides:

-3b + 5 (-5) = 13 (-5)

-3b = 13 - 5

-3b = 8

Next, divide -3 from both sides:

(-3b)/-3 = (8)/-3

b = -8/3

b = -2 2/3

Greg studied for 12 minutes. This is 40% of the time he wants to study today. How many more minutes does Greg need to study toda
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

18 More Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

I think I can help.

What I would first do here is try to find the value of 10% relative to the 12 minutes. If we find what 10% is we can multiply that to get 100% to find the total amount of minutes he wants to study. We can then subtract the time already studied to find our answer.

To do this we want to take the 40% we have and find 10. We can do 40/4 to find this since 40 divided by 4 is actually 10.

But if we do this we also have to do with to the number it is relating to / representing. Which is 12. (12 minutes = 40%)

So we can do :

40 / 4

=

10%

Also

12 / 4

=

3

So with this we can conclude that 10% of his total time is 3 minutes.

Now lets multiply this by 10 to get the 100% we are looking for so we can get the total amount of time he spent studying.

So :

10% x 10

=

100%

3 x 10

=

30 minutes

So his total time is 30 minutes of studying, but we have to find how many more minutes after his 12.

We can now simply take the total time and take off the time spent already to find this answer :

30 - 12

=

18 minutes

That is your answer, he needs to study 18 more minutes.

I hope this helps!

If you have any questions or concerns please comment or message me! :)
