Hi there!

Let's solve this inequality step by step!
- 2a > 6

First divide both sides by 2.
- a > 3

To find the value of a, we must get rid of the negative sign in front of it, so we divide both sides by -1. When dividing by a negative, we must flip the sign.

Hence,
a < - 3

Additonal note:
This solution makes sense because of the following reason: when a number that has been made negative is bigger than 3, the number itself must be smaller than -3 (when we add an extra minus sign to -3, it becomes 3; so every number smaller than -3 will become bigger than 3 when we add another minus sign).

~ Hope this helps you!

Perform the requested operation or operations. f(x) = 7x + 6, g(x) = 4x2 find (f + g)(x).
Lina20 [59]
(f + g)(x) = 7x + 6 + 4x² = 4x² + 7x + 6

The notation given means to add the rules of f(x) and g(x), and since there are no like terms, your answer is 4x² + 7x + 6

Craig and Tom, working together, can clean the house in 8 hrs, working alone, Tom takes four times as long as Craig, How long do
aksik [14]

Let x = Craig's time

Let y = Tom's time

Create a system of equations to solve this problem.

8 = x + y

y = 4x

Substitute 4x into the y variable in the first equation.

8 = x + 4x. Combine like terms

8 = 5x. Divide each side by 5.

1.6 = x

Craig takes 1.6 hours to clean the house

In the diagram, line OB bisects angle AOC. Find m angle BOC. Explain your answer.​
klasskru [66]

Answer:

  m∠BOC = 53°

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of an angle bisector is that it divides an angle into two congruent angles. ∠AOC is divided by angle bisector OB into angles ∠AOB and ∠BOC, hence those two angles are congruent.

  m∠AOB = m∠BOC = 53°
