Given:
five times a number = 5x
decreased by 8 = 5x - 8
is at most 10 = maximum is 10 so less than or equal to 10
more than twice the number = greater than 2x.

2x < 5x - 8 <u><</u> 10

5x - 8 <u><</u> 10
5x - 8 > 2x

****

5x - 8    <u><</u> 10      if x = 3.60 then 2x < 5x-8 <u>< </u>10
     + 8      +8                              2(3.6)  < 5(3.6) - 8 <u><</u> 10
5x         <u><</u>  18                                7.2    < 10 <u><</u> 10
÷5              ÷5
        x   <u><</u>  3.60

5x - 8     > 2x                  x > 2.67; if x = 3
 
   +8             + 8                        2x < 5x - 8 <u>< </u>10
5x          > 2x + 8                        2(3) < 5(3) - 8 <u>< </u>10
-2x           -2x                                 6 < 7 <u>< </u>10
3x          >         8
÷3                    ÷3  
x             >  2.67

Find the slope <br> (3,5) and (6,9)
Viktor [21]

Answer:

4/3 <em>or</em> 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, we subtract the y-values (9 - 5), then divide the difference we find from that by the difference of the x-values (6 - 3). So, let's go ahead and do that now. First, what's 9 - 5? Well, the answer is 4. Next, we have to divide this value by 6 - 3, which is equivalent to 3. Then, we divide the two numbers - what is 4 ÷ 3? Well, we can represent this as 4/3, or 1 1/3. Hopefully that's helpful - if you have any questions on that, let me know! :)

Which function is shown in the graph below? Please hurry!
neonofarm [45]

Answer: Choice D

\log_6(x) which is the log base 6 of x

====================================================

Explanation:

Since you're given a list of choices, you can plug in each x coordinate of the points shown and see what the y values are.

If you plugged x = 6 into choice A, you would end up with y = -1 but we want y = 1 instead. So choice A can be crossed off the list.

If you plugged in x = 6 into choice B, then you would get y = -2.6 approximately. So this answer won't work either.

Try x = 6 into choice C, and you'll get a division by zero error. So that can be crossed off too.

The only thing left is choice D. This function works because x = 0.5 leads to y = -0.4 approximately. Also, x = 1 and y = 0 pair up together. Similarly, the input x = 6 produces the output y = 1.

note: you may have to use the change of base formula to compute the log values. The change of base formula is log(b,x) = log(x)/log(b)

There are 100 coins scattered in a dark room. 90 have heads facing up and 10 are facing tails up. You cannot tell which coins ar
Bas_tet [7]
Ok, so the way is

if n coins are tails and you want to seperate the big pile into 2 piles with equal number of tails, then you take n coins out of the main pile and flip them all over

explanation

ok, so let's use the xample

you have 10 tails up
let's say x+y=10

you take out 10 random coins
there are x tails and y heads in that pile because x+y=10
since you took out x tails from the main pile, ther are now 10-x or y tails in the main pile
but you have no way of finding those coins

if yo go to the 10 random coinsn yo got, you have y heads but you need y tails
solution? flip all coins in the 10 pile over to get x heads and y tails

I need help with problem 7

Answer: The triangles are not congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the two triangles have 3 congruent angles, and AAA is not a triangle congruency theorem or postulate, the triangles are not congruent.
