A candidate for class president received at least 4 times as many votes as his opponent did. If the winning candidate received a

t least 716 votes, which inequality could be used to find how many votes his opponent received?
Mathematics
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

4x ≤ 716

Step-by-step explanation:

(say x = # of votes the opponent received)

Since the winning candidate got at least 716 votes, we can know that there will be <em>a greater than or equal to sign, and that the greater side will point to the 716</em>: <em>ₙ ≤ 716</em>.

Also, if the winning candidate got exactly 716 votes, then that equation will look like this: <em>4x = 716</em>. We can use that left side into our inequality: 4x ≤ 716.

Write an equation of the line that passes through the points (-3,-9) and (5,-9)
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

slope of a line m : 0

Equation of line :  y=- 9

Step-by-step explanation:

P1 : (X1 , Y1 ) (-3 , -9)

P2 : (X2 , Y2) (5 , -9)

Slope of line (m) is caculated as ,

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-9 - (-9))/(5 - (-3))

m = 0

equation of line  : y = mx+b

using P1 (-3 , -9)

= > (-9) = (0)(-3) + b

= > -9 = b

hence b = -9

equation of Line is

y = -9

The sphere at the right fits snugly inside a cube with 18​-in. edges. What is the approximate volume of the space between the sp
____ [38]

Answer:

2,778 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume cube

v = 18³

v = 5,832

Volume sphere

v = (4/3)π9³

v = 3,053.6280592893

Volume space

v = 5,832 - 3,053.6280592893

v = 2,778.3719407107

2,778 in³
