The difference of a number and -6 is less than 9 write an inequality and solve

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

n - (-6) < 9

n < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When setting up an inequality, using the key words from the problem will help.  The word 'difference' would indicate subtraction and 'less than' would be the '<' inequality sign.  Since the expression is 'the difference of a number and -6', we write:  

n - (-6) < 9

Whenever we subtract a negative number, we change both signs to positive:

n + 6 < 9

Using inverse operations to solve:  n + 6 - 6 < 9 - 6

n < 3

Simplify. a - {4 b - [ a - (5 b - c ) + 3 c - ( a - b - 9 c )]}
Vlad1618 [11]
The answer to this should be a-8b+13c

a - {4b - [a - (5b - c) + 3c - (a - b - 9c)]}
=a - {4b - [a - 5b + c + 3c - a + b + 9c]}
=a - {4b - [- 4b+ 13c]}
=a - {4b + 4b -13c}
=a - 8b + 13c


Hope this helped :)

Solve the equation below and find the variation constant, k .Find y when x = 7 and z=5, if y varies jointly as x and 2, and y= 1
Vlada [557]
<h3>Answers:</h3>

Variation Constant: k = 7/6

y = 245/6 when x = 7 and z = 5

====================================

Explanation:

"y varies jointly as x and z" means that y = kxz

We have (x,y,z) = (4,14,3) as one triple, so,

y = kxz

14 = k*4*3

14 = 12k

12k = 14

k = 14/12

k = 7/6 is the variation constant

The equation goes from y = kxz to y = (7/6)xz

----------------

Plug in x = 7 and z = 5 to find y

y = (7/6)xz

y = (7/6)*7*5

y = (7/6)*(7/1)*(5/1)

y = (7*7*5)/(6*1*1)

y = 245/6
