Answer:
C. x > 3
Step-by-step explanation:
As long as you don't multiply or divide by any negative numbers*, <em>you can solve this the same way you would an equation</em>.
3x +2 > x +8
3x > x +6 . . . . . . subtract 2
2x > 6 . . . . . . . . subtract x
x > 3 . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2; matches choice C
_____
* The complete rule is "as long as you don't use any order-changing operations, ...". There are some functions you can apply to both sides of the inequality that will change the ordering. Multiplication or division by a negative number is only one of many.
1 < 2
-1 > -2 . . . . . multiplication by -1 reverses the order
Answer:
x = 0
y= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
x = y + 3 into the equation y = -4x - 3, so
y = -4(y+3) - 3
y = -4y - 12 - 3
y = -4y - 15
5y = -15
y = -3
Then, you can substitute this into the equation x = y + 3
B It’s the one that makes sense
(-7,-12) s it both down and to the right of the origin
Answer:
(x + 7)^2 = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 23x – 19 = 9x - 4
x^2 + 23x - 9x = -4 + 19
x^2 + 14x = 15 = 0
Completing the square:
(x + 14/2)^2 - (14/2)^2 = 15
(x + 7)^2 - 49 = 15
(x + 7)^2 = 64
