To figure out which is not equivalent to the others,, we must solve each option provided. x < -2 is already solved,, so there is no need to do any work that option.
The first step for solving x - 2 < 4 is to move the constant to the right side and then change its sign.
x < 4 + 2
Now add the numbers together to get your final answer.
x < 6
This means that we have one option that equals x < -2 and one option that equals x < 6.
Let's now solve 2x < -4 to see what that one equals. In order to solve this,, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 2.
x < -2
Now we can see that it looks like all of the expressions are equivalent except for x - 2 < 4. Before we can confirm this though,, let's solve for x - 2 < -4. The first step for solving this is to move the constant to the right side and change its sign.
x < -4 + 2
Now calculate the sum of these two numbers to get your final answer.
x < -2
This tells us that all of the options are equivalent except for x - 2 < 4,, or option B.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

A rectangular box 4 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2 meters tall. On the box is a cat, and the box is floating in water such tha
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Mass of the cat  = 16800kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box = its length * its breath * its height- 4m × 3m × 2m = 24m^{3}

The standard density of water is 1000 Kg/m^{3}

By Archimedes principle, the mass of a body  floating body is equivalent to the mass of the volume liquid displaced

in this case we have

Mass of water displaced = Density of the water × Volume of the water  displaced =   1000 Kg/m^{3} × 24m^{3} = 24000kg

The mass of the box = Box density × Box volume = 24m^{3} × 300kg/m^{3} = 7200 kg Hence the mass of water displaced = mass of the foating box + mass of th cat

24000kg =  mass of cat +7200kg

mass of cat = 24000kg - 7200kg = 16800kg

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal.
emmasim [6.3K]
Because both lines are parallel, if you add the 5x+5 to the 115 those would equal 180 degrees

so you have 5x+5 + 115 = 180

combine like terms:

5x + 120 = 180

subtract 120 from both sides

5x = 60

x = 60/5
x = 12
