> 0
First, note that x is undefined at 5. / x ≠ 5
Second, replace the inequality sign with an equal sign so that we can solve it like a normal equation. / Your problem should look like:
= 0
Third, multiply both sides by x - 5. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 5 = 0
Forth, add 5 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 5
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x =
Sixth, from the values of x above, we have these 3 intervals to test:
x <
< x < 5
x > 5
Seventh, pick a test point for each interval.
1. For the interval x <
:
Let's pick x - 0. Then,
> 0
After simplifying, we get 1 > 0 which is true.
Keep this interval.
2. For the interval
< x < 5:
Let's pick x = 2. Then,
> 0
After simplifying, we get -0.3333 > 0, which is false.
Drop this interval.
3. For the interval x > 5:
Let's pick x = 6. Then,
> 0
After simplifying, we get 13 > 0, which is ture.
Keep this interval.
Eighth, therefore, x <
and x > 5
Answer: x <
and x > 5
Answer: point F is at <u> 0.6 </u> on the number line
=============================================================
Explanation:
The ratio 2:3 scales up to 2x:3x for some positive real number x.
This means the distance from D to F is 2x units, and the distance from F to E is 3x units. Combine those two smaller distances to get 2x+3x = 5x to represent the full distance from D to E.
D is at -3 and E is at 6. This is a distance of 9 units since |-3-6| = |-9| = 9
Set this equal to the 5x from earlier and solve
5x = 9
x = 9/5
x = 1.8
This leads to 2x = 2*1.8 = 3.6
Therefore, we'll move 3.6 units from -3 to -3+3.6 = 0.6 which is the location of point F on the number line.
Notice that from 0.6 to 6 is 5.4 units and that 3x = 3*1.8 = 5.4 matches up to help confirm the answer.
Answer:
The absolute value of a number is the distance between the number and zero on a number line. In other words, a number and its opposite have the same absolute value.

Answer:
79.8
Step-by-step explanation:
7.98*10=
79.8
to check
(1/10)*79.8=
7.98
It takes her (100 mi)/(50 mi/h) = 2 h to get to her destination. She has 1 h 40 min = 100 min for her 100 mi return trip.
.. (100 mi)/(100 min) = (60 mi)/(60 min) = 60 mi/h
She must return at the rate of 60 mph to complete the trip in 3 h 40 min.
