Answer: Use a bar or a number line. Try my example with -6.
Step-by-step explanation: Example: x + 2 > 12
Subtract 2 from both sides:
x + 2 − 2 > 12 − 2
Simplify:
x > 10
Solved^
25 percent of people had pasta.
First add 450 and 150 (which equals 600)
Next divide 600 by 150 (which equals 4)
Which means 150 is a fourth of six hundred, and a fourth is 25 percent.
Which leads to my answer of 25 percent
Solution (1)
for k=0 / for k=1 / for k=-1
x=0 / x=2π / x=-2π
acc / acc / rej
solution (2)
for k=0 / for k=1 / for k=-1
x=0 / x=2π/3 / x=-2π/3
acc / acc / rej
Note that i'm trying values of K which make the answer belong to our interval;
So our solution which i will represent as a set is;
S € {0,2π/3,2π}
Answer: the speed of the boat on the lake is 9 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat on the lake or in still water.
The speed of the current in a river is 6 mph. This means that if the boat goes upstream against the speed of the current, its total speed would be (x - 6)mph. If the boat goes downstream against the speed of the current, its total speed would be (x + 6)mph.
Time = distance/ speed
Every day, his route takes him 22.5 miles each way against the current and back to his dock, and he needs to make this trip in a total of 9 hours. This means that the time taken to travel upstream is
22.5/(x - 6). The time taken to travel downstream is
22.5/(x + 6)
Since the total time is 9 hours, it means that
22.5/(x - 6) = 22.5/(x + 6)
Cross multiplying, it becomes
22.5(x + 6) + 22.5(x - 6) = 9
Multiplying through by (x + 6)(x - 6), it becomes
22.5(x - 6) + 22.5(x + 6) = 9[(x + 6)(x - 6)]
22.5x - 135 + 22.5x + 135 = 9(x² - 6x + 6x - 36)
22.5x + 22.5x = 9x² - 324
9x² - 45x - 324 = 0
Dividing through by 9, it becomes
x² - 5x - 36 = 0
x² + 4x - 9x - 36 = 0
x(x + 4) - 9(x + 4) = 0
x - 9 = 0 or x + 4 = 0
x = 9 or x = - 4
Since the speed cannot be negative, then x = 9
Is/of = %/100
plug in your known values
is/4 = 275/100
cross multiply & divide
11 = is
11 is 275% of 4
