Answer:
x < -6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 2 > 5x + 10
first step is to isolate x
3x -2 >5x +10
3x > 5x + 10 + 2
3x -5x > 10 + 2
now that we have 3x and -5x we can combine them
-2x > 10 + 2
now add 10 +2 =12
-2x > 12 (now divide by -2)
x < -6 (when we divide we flip the inequality sign)
Answer:
18 or 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Plan a= 2x + 10
plan b= .25x + 40
2x + 10 = .25 + 40
1.75x=30
x=17.14
Answer:
-8 and -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 32 all you have to do to get you answer is add 3 and 2 which gives you 5 and you add it up until you get to 67 and you have to see how many times you add it up to get the answer which is 3 or a shorter way is 31 times 2 plus 5 and it gives you 67
Answer:
x = 144
Step-by-step explanation:
What you need to remember about this geometry is that all of the triangles are similar. As with any similar triangles, that means ratios of corresponding sides are proportional. Here, we can write the ratios of the long leg to the short leg and set them equal to find x.
x/60 = 60/25
Multiply by 60 to find x:
x = (60·60)/25
x = 144

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>
You may have noticed that the above equation can be written in the form ...
60 = √(25x)
That is, the altitude from the hypotenuse (60) is equal to the geometric mean of the lengths into which it divides the hypotenuse (25 and x).
This same sort of "geometric mean" relation holds for other parts of this geometry, as well. The short leg of the largest triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 25 and 60) is the geometric mean of the short hypotenuse segment (25) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).
And, the long leg of the large triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 60 and x) is the geometric mean of the long hypotenuse segment (x) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).
While it can be a shortcut in some problems to remember these geometric mean relationships, you can always come up with what you need by simply remembering that the triangles are all similar.
