Check the picture below.

to graph an inequality, you pretty much first off, need to graph the "equality" or equation, so for y < 3x − 6, first off, graph the line <span>y = 3x − 6.

and then you do a "true" or "false" check.

now, if you look at the line below, it splits the grid in two sections, so, let's check a point in either section, if one is false, the other is true and the other way around.

so, let's check the region on the left-hand-side, hmmmm say point 0,0, the origin.

y < 3x - 6

y = 0,  x = 0  thus

0 < 3(0) - 6

0 < -6   <--- now, is that really true? is 0 lesser than -6? not quite, is false.

recall that on the negative side, the closer to 0, the larger the value, so -1 is much larger than -1,000,000.

because the point 0,0 yielded a false inequality, that region is the "false region" and thus not shaded, therefore, the other side must be the "true region", and thus we shade that then.

we can run a quick check on that btw, say on point 4,4

y =4,   x = 4  thus

4 < 3(4) - 6

4 < 12 - 6

4 < 8    <---- yeap, is true, 4 is lesser/smaller than 8.

hmm ohh yes, the line needs to be dashed for a < or >, because it "has that boundary but it does not include it", unlike </span>⩽ and ⩾, which is a solid line, because it has that boundary and it includes it too.

Multiple choice!! There's only one correct answer.
GalinKa [24]

The solution is where the red line crosses the blue line, which on the X axis is between the 1 and the 2, so about 1.5.

Convert the fractions to decimal and see which one is  close to 1.5:

13/8 = 1.625

25/16 = 1.5625

7/4 = 1.75

27/16 = 1.6875

The closest one to 1.5 is 25/16

Helppp I need this turned in!!!
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-10 ( y-4) + 3y = 5   <--- substitute the value of x into first equation

-10y + 40 + 3y = 5

-7y + 40 = 5

-7y = -35

y= 5

x = 5 - 4

x = 1

Solve the equation: 4 - 5(3- 2x) = -2x + 1
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 5(3- 2x) = -2x + 1

Distribute

4 - 15 +10x = -2x+1

Combine like terms

-11 +10x = -2x+1

Add 2x to each side

-11+10x+2x = -2x+2x +1

-11+12x = 1

Add 11 to each side

-11 +11 + 12x = 11+1

12x = 12

Divide each side by

12x/12 = 12/12

x = 1
