Lets say the number = x

Six times a number is decreased by 9, the result is 3
6 times x is decreased by 9, the result is 3  
(decreased means to subtract and results means equals)

6x - 9 = 3         (add 9 to each side)
    <u> +9    +9</u>
6x = 3 + 9
6x = 12            (divide each side by 6)
6x/6 = 12/6
x = 2


The number is 2

lora16 [44]

Answer:

x\in (-\infty , -4) \cup (-2,+\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the system of inequalities:

x + 4 < 0

OR:

6x > -12

The first inequality yields the solution:

x < -4

The second inequality gives the solution:

x > -2

The total solution is the disjunction of the individual solutions, i.e., the union of both.

It can be expressed as

\mathbf{x\in (-\infty , -4) \cup (-2,+\infty)}

You are driving home on a weekend from school at 55 mi/h for 110 miles. it then starts to snow and you slow to 35 mi/h. you arri
stepladder [879]

Okay lets get started.

I drove 110 miles with speed of 55 mi/hr so the time taken =

time = distance / speed

time = 110 / 55 = 2 hrs For the distance which is covered with 55 mi/hr speed.

Total time for reaching home is 4 hrs 15 minutes. (given in question)

Means rest distance after snow is covered in = 4 hrs 15 minutes - 2 hrs

= 2 hrs 15 minutes = 2 + 15/60 = 2.25 hrs

The speed in snow driving is 35 mi/hr

So distance covered in snow driving is = 2.25 * 35 = 78.75 miles

Hence the total distance = 110 + 78.75 = 188.75 miles : Answer

Hope that will help :)
