The inequality is 4x - 6 < - 2 and solution for number is x < 1, where "x" is the variable

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that four times a number decreased by 6 is less than -2

To find: Define a variable, write an inequality, and solve for the number​

Let "x" be the required number

From given information,

four times a number decreased by 6 < -2

four times "x" decreased by 6 < - 2

Here "times" represents multiplication. Four times x means 4 is multiplied by x

Decreased means something is subtracted away

Here 6 is subtracted from four times "x"

<em><u>So we frame a inequality as:</u></em>

4x - 6 < - 2

Moving -6 from R.H.S to L.H.S,

4x < -2 + 6

4x < 4

Dividing both sides by 4,

x < 1

Thus the inequality is 4x - 6 < - 2 and solution for number is x < 1

Type an equation that can be used to solve for the missing angles. DO NOT SOLVE.
muminat

Answer:

x°+2x°+(x-24)°=180°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of of the interior angles of all triangles add up to 180°

Adding x°, 2x°, and (x-24)° <em>will</em> equal 180

Therefore, an equation that can be used to solve for the missing angles is: x°+2x°+(x-24)°=180°

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Starting temperature = - 5°F

Temperature at midday =increase in temperature by 78°F = (starting temperature + 78°F)

Temperature at nightfall = decrease in temperature by 32°F = ( temperature at midday - 32°F)

Temperature at midday:

(-5°F + 78°F) = 73°F

Temperature at nightfall:

(Temperature at midday - 32°F)

(73°F - 32°F) = 41°F
