2x-4
If x is the amount the other team scored then the 2x is double. This gives that 4 less than double the amount of the other team would be minus 4

if it would take billy an hour to race over to his girlfriends house and two hours if he went 20 miles per hour slower how far a

mel-nik [20]

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

now, let's say she lives "d" miles away, and so if Billy goes say at "r" mph fast to her house, he gets there in 1hr.

now, if he goes 20 mph slower, namely " r - 20 " mph, he gets there in 2 hours, same "d" miles.

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{Billy}&d&r&1\\
\textit{slower Billy}&d&r-20&2
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
d=r(1)\implies d=\boxed{r}\\
d=2(r-20)\\
----------\\
d=2\left( \boxed{d}-20 \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
d=2d-40\implies 40=d$

X+9=24 how to solve for x

rodikova [14]

You can easily do just one step to get the value of x.

x + 9 =24 subtract 9 from both sides

x + 9 - 9 = 24 - 9

Simplify:

x = 15

I hope I helped you.

Solve the following inequality. 21<_-3(x - 4) < 30 A. 28<_x < 37 B. -3 <_ x < 6 C. -6 < x <_ -3 D. -10 &

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Option C $-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$21\leq -3(x-4)$

The compound inequality can be divided into two inequality

$21\leq -3(x-4)$ -----> inequality A

$-3(x-4)$ ----> inequality B

Solve inequality A

$21\leq -3x+12$

$9\leq -3x$

Divide by -3 both sides

when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$-3\geq x$

Rewrite

$x\leq -3$

The solution of the inequality A is the interval (-∞,-3]

Solve the inequality B

$-3x+12$

$-3x$

Divide by -3 both sides

when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$x>-6$

The solution of the inequality B is the interval [-6,∞)

The solution of the compound inequality is

[-6,∞) ∩ (-∞,-3]=(-6,-3]

$-6$
