Solve each of the equations independently, then determine if the are continuous or discontinuous. 
15≥-3x [start here]
-5≤x    [divide both sides by (-3). *Dividing by a negative number means the direction of the sign changes!]
x≥-5  [just turned around for analysis]

Next equation:
2/3x≥-2    [start here]
x≥-2(3/2)  [multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal, 3/2)
x≥-3

So, (according to the first equation) all values of x must be greater than, or equal to -5.

(According to the second equation) all values of x must be greater than, or equal to -3. 
So, when graphed on a number line, both equations graph in the same direction, so they are continuous.

The 'or' means that it has to be one OR the other, the numbers where both are true are not solutions


solve each independenlty, remember that dividing or multiplying both sides by a negaive flips the inequality sign direction



15≥-3x
divide both sides by -3 and don't forget to flip sign
-5≤x
x≥-5


ok, solve 2nd one
2/3 x≥-2
multiply both sides by 3/2
x≥-3


so we got
x≥-5 and x≥-3
they intersect in x≥-3, so x≥-3 is not a solution reigon

the solution set is x≥-5 but stops at -3, so it would be -5≤x<-3

Solve the following equation: 3x - 5 = 10 + 7x.
umka21 [38]

When solving equations like these, our number one goal is to get x to be alone.

So given the equation lets go through it step by step.

3x - 5 = 10 + 7x  (first step is to add 5 to both sides)

    + 5 = + 5    ( Now lets see what we have now)

3x = 15 + 7x ( We need the x to be alone! So lets subtract -7x from both sides.)

-7x =       -7x   ( now what do we have?)

-4x = 15  (okay divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x)

÷4 = ÷4   (now the 4's on the left side cancel out, and we solve on the right side)

x = 3.75

That's your answer :) Good Luck!

Find the value of the combination.<br><br> 21 C 3<br><br> 7,980<br> 2,660<br> 1,330
erik [133]
To evaluate the combination we proceed as follows:
21C3
Given nCk we shall have:
n!/[(n-k)!k!]
thus plugging the values in the expression we get:
21!/[(21-3)!3!]
=21!/(18!×3!)
=1330
Answer: 1330
