I remember CUP -- concave up positive. Here we have a leading coefficient that's negative, so the cup is upside down, the parabola opens down, an arch not a bowl.
y=23x+143 hope this helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Option A
![[x+5=20]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%2B5%3D20%5D)
tells us that: When we add 5 to a variable x, we get 20. As it has a unique value for x and is completely equal to it(i.e. 15), It is an equality.
- Option B
![[x=5]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%3D5%5D)
tells us that: A variable x equals to 5. Hence, as x is unique for 5 and is wholly equal to it, it's an equality too. - Option C
tells us that: A variable x isn't 5 but lesser than it. As we cannot equate it to 5, nor we are given the nature of the variable x, it is an Inequality. - Option D
![[x+5]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%2B5%5D)
is an expression; It can't be called an equation or an inequality unless we relate it with another expression.
Yes here multiply takes place not divide
(15 is your answer)
Divide numerator by denominator, cancel out any common factors
