Marcie solved the following inequality and her work is shown below:. . −2(x − 5) − 12 ≤ 4 + 6(x + 3). −2x + 10 − 12 ≤ 4 + 6x + 1

8. −2x − 2 ≤ 6x + 22. −8x ≤ 24. x ≤ −3. . What mistake did Marcie make in solving the inequality?

The mistake which Marcie made in solving the equation was when she added 2 to 6x and 2 to 22 to make ≤ 24. x ≤ −3.

Adding 2 to 6x would make 6x + 2, therefore this is the mistake that Marcie made solving the inequality.

All steps that Marcie did are right, but she forgot to change sign in last step.

Consider the inequality

-2(x - 5) -12 \le 4 + 6(x + 3).

Then

-2x+10-12 \le 4 + 6x+18.

Group the numbers:

-2x-2 \le 6x+22.

Separate terms with x and without x in different sides:

-2x-6x \le 22+2.\\-8x\le 24.

The coefficient at x is -8 and it is negative, then dividing the inequality by -8 you have to change sign in opposite:

x\ge -3.

Answer: Marcie forgot to change sign in last step.

fire work a travels at the speed 300 ft/s firework b travels 240 ft/s. firework b is launched 0.25s before firework a. how many
storchak [24]

Answer:

Both fireworks  will explode after 1 seconds after firework b launches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Speed of fire work A= 300 ft/s

Speed of Firework B=240 ft/s

Time before which fire work b is launched =0.25s

To Find:

How many seconds after firework b launches will both fireworks explode=?

Solution:

Let t be the time(seconds) after which both the fireworks explode.

By the time the firework a has been launched, Firework B has been launch 0.25 s, So we can treat them as two separate equation

Firework A= 330(t)

Firework B=240(t)+240(0.25)

Since we need to know the same time after which they explode, we can equate both the equations

330(t) = 240(t)+240(0.25)

300(t)= 240(t)+60

300(t)-240(t)= 60

60(t)=60

t=\frac{60}{60}

t=1

2(1 − x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 52(1 − x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 5
marusya05 [52]

Solving the equation 2(1-x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 5 we get x=-\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation 2(1-x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 5 and find value of x

Solving:

2(1-x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 5\\2-2x=9+18x+5\\Adding\,\,-18x\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\2-2x-18x=9+5\\Adding\,\,-2\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides\\-20x=14-2\\-20x=12\\x=\frac{12}{-20}\\x=-\frac{3}{5}

So, solving the equation 2(1-x) = 9(1 + 2x) + 5 we get x=-\frac{3}{5}
