At its neutral state, an element has equal number of protons and electrons. If not, they occur as ions. The most stable elements are the noble gases. The nearest noble gas to Lithium is Neon, which is one proton lower than Lithium. Hence, when Lithium has a charge, it is naturally +1 because it has to give one electron to be as stable as Neon.

What is the qoutient of -18÷ (-1 over 6) ?
topjm [15]
...
When you divide a negative integer by a negative, it becomes a positive.  Also, when you have a problem like this...-18/-1/6, you switch the -1 and 6, leaving us -18/-6, but also, in the process of flipping the two numbers, we change to -18*-6.  Henceforth...-18/(-1/6)=-18*-6=108.

Solve the inequality 7x - 35 < 2 [x - 5]
Daniel [21]

Answer:

x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify

7x−35<2x−10

Step 2: Substract 2x from both sides

7x−35−2x<2x−10−2x

5x−35<−10

Step 3: Add 35 to both sides

5x−35+35<−10+35

5x<25

Step 4: Divide by 5

5x/5 × 25/5

x < 5
