Answer:
B) -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
If [x/2]=0 then x/2 is a number such that the least integer greater than or equal to x/2 is 0. We can rewrite this as the inequality x/2≤0. Then, the value of x in C, D and E is wrong because they are positive numbers, then x/2 would be a positive number which contradicts this inequality.
Now, 0 is the least integer that satisfies this inequality, therefore we cannot have that x/2≤-1 since -1 is an integer and -1<0. Then x/2>-1. This discards A as wrong, because for x=-2, x/2=-1, contrary to x/2>-1.
Thus B is the right answer. To verify, if x=-3/2, then x/2=-3/4 and we have that -1<-3/4≤0 as required.
Answer:
x = 5/-8
Step-by-step explanation:
4x = 12x + 5
4x - 12x = 5
-8x = 5
x = 5/-8
Answer:
The answer is 6z-28
Step-by-step explanation:
20 - 3[4(z+1) - 6(z-2)]
= 20 - 3(4z+4-6z+12)
= 20 - 3(16 - 2z)
= 20 - 48 + 6z
= 6z - 28
60 because .7 times 60 equals 42 therefore the answer is 60
