Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-3y+2

-4x-12y=-8

----------------

-4(-3y+2)-12y=-8

12y-8-12y=-8

-8=-8

infinitely many solutions

Solve the question and check the solution. Express numbers as integers or simplified fractions. 5(m+5)=7m+9

Yanka [14]

Answer:

m = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

5(m+5)=7m+9 (distribute & evaluate parenthesis)

5(m)+5(5)=7m+9

5m + 25 = 7m + 9 (move all m-terms to one side and constants to the other)

5m - 7m = 9 - 25 (evaluate both sides)

-2m = -16 (divide both sides by -2)

m = (-16) / ( -2) = 8

Solve the inequality 2x>30+5/4x

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x > 30+\frac{5}{4x} \\2x-\frac{5}{4x} > 30\\\frac{8x^2-5}{4x} > 30\\case~1\\if~x > 0\\8x^2-5 > 120x\\8x^2-120x > 5\\x^2-15x > \frac{5}{8} \\adding~(-\frac{15}{2} )^2~to~both~sides\\(x-\frac{15}{2} )^2 > \frac{5}{8}+\frac{225}{4} \\(x-\frac{15}{2} )^2 > \frac{455}{8} \\x-\frac{15}{2} < -\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\x < \frac{15}{2}-\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\or~x < 0\\rejected~as~x > 0$

$x-\frac{15}{2} > \sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\x > \frac{15}{2} +\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} }$

case~2

$if~x < 0\\8x^2-5 < 120x\\8x^2-120x < 5\\x^2-15x < \frac{5}{8} \\adding~(-\frac{15}{2} )^2\\(x-\frac{15}{2} )^2 < \frac{5}{8} +(-\frac{15}{2} )^2\\|x-\frac{15}{2} | < \frac{5+450}{8} \\-\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } < x-\frac{15}{2} < \sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\\frac{15}{2} -\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } < x < \frac{15}{2} +\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\but~x < 0\\7.5-\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } < x < 0$
