-1/2x < -12 ....multiply both sides by -2, and change inequality sign
x > -12 * -2
x > 24

All you need to do is divide -1/2 onto the other side.

-1/2x<-12

-12/ (-1/2)= 6 (a negative and a negative equals a positive)

Also, since you are dividing a negative, you flip the sign.

x>6

I hope this helps!

Answer the questions shown in the image below.

Answer:

Slope of given line = $\frac{-9}{4}$ and slope of perpendicular line = $\frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a line -9x - 4y = 5 .

We have to find the slope of a line parallel to this line and also a line perpendicular to this line.

Let the general equation be ax + by = c.

Then the slope of this line = $\frac{-a}{b}$ = $\frac{-9}{4}$

The slope of a line perpendicular to a line is the negative inverse of the slope of the line. Using this concept,

Slope of line perpendicular to the given line = $\frac{b}{a}$ = $\frac{4}{9}$

An attorney charges a fixed fee for an initial meeting and an hourly fee for all hours worked after this meeting. The attorney c

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

m = 125 is the rate of change or the hourly fee

b value is 500

y = 125x + 500

Step-by-step explanation:

1750 = 500 + m(10)

1250 = 10m

m = 125 is the rate of change or the hourly fee

b value is 500; which is the charge at 0 hours (fixed fee for initial meeting);

use equation y=mx+b

y = 125x + 500

John and Ariana bought school supplies. John spent $11.00 on 5 notebooks and 7 pens. Ariana spent $7.00 on 4 notebooks and 2 pen

emmainna [20.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

set notebooks as x, set pens as y

1. 5x + 7y = 11

2. 4x + 2y = 7

1. times by 2

10x + 14y = 22

2. times by 7

28x + 14y = 49

2. minus 1.

18x = 27

x = 1.5

sub 1.5 into 2.

4(1.5) +2y = 7

6+2y = 7

2y = 1

y = 0.5

Therefore, x = 1.5, y = 0.5

Molly is painting a model house and needs to know how much paint she will need. She knows the surface area of the prism is 216 s

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

1. a square which is 6 × 6in

2. the inside of the prism or cube as it is not seen from the outside

3. the area of the square - 6 × 6 = 36in

4. 6 x 6 = 36 / one face of prism

× 5 = 180

4 × 6/2 = 12 / one face of pyramid

x 5 = 60

60 + 180 = 240
