Solve the equation
So first we subtract 8 from both sides because we apply the inverse operation.
-2x+8=-16
     -8      -8
Now we apply it and re write the equation
-2x=-24
Now the inverse operation for multiplication is division, so we apply it.
-2x=-24
------------
 -2      -2
We are left with x=8
So our final answer is x=8

Check our work
-2(8)+8=-16

CORRECT ANSWER. :)

Colt1911 [192]

According to "Black Hole Beginnings," the destruction of some stars results in an an intense gravitational pull.

To answer the question, we need to know what Black Holes are.

<h3>What are Black Holes?</h3>

Blackholes are regions of space in which no matter can escape

<h3>Characteristics of black holes</h3>
  • Black holes are formed from the remnants of  large star that dies in a supernova
  • As long as the star is three times or more larger than the sun, it will collapse
  • The gravitational force on the star causes it to collapse into a black hole

So, when black holes are formed, some stars are destroyed and collapse due to intense gravitational forces.

So, according to "Black Hole Beginnings," the destruction of some stars results in an an intense gravitational pull.

What is the solution set for the given inequality if the replacement set for r is {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}?
tangare [24]

Answer:

{6,7,8,9,10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the inequality using inverse operations.

3r\leq 4r-6\\3r-4r\leq -6\\-r\leq -6\\r\geq 6

This solution means values equal to or larger than 6 from the set are solutions. This means 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are the solution set.

Hayden earns $9.50 per hour as a lifeguard.He earns a bonus of $50.00 for taking a training course.How many hours must he work t
mel-nik [20]

Answer: he must work for at least 26.32 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that Hayden works as a life guard.

Hayden earns $9.50 per hour as a lifeguard. This means that the amount that he earns for working for x hours would be

9.5x

He earns a bonus of $50.00 for taking a training course. If he takes this bonus cost, the amount that he would earn for working for x hours is

9.5x + 50

Therefore, the number of hours that he must work to earn at least $300.00 would be

9.5x + 50 ≥ 300

9.5x ≥ 300 - 50

9.5x ≥ 250

x ≥ 250/9.5

x ≥ 26.32
