Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is

-4(3-5x)\geq -6x+9

Use BODMAS and solve the brackets first.

Using distributive property, the given inequality can be written as

-4(3)-4(-5x)\geq -6x+9

-12+20x\geq -6x+9

The first step in solving the given inequality is

-12+20x\geq -6x+9

Therefore option 4 is correct.

<span>The answer is -12 + 20x ≥ –6x 9. The inequality is –4(3 – 5x)≥ –6x 9. The first step is to multiply factors on the left side. The intermediary steps are: (-4)*(3) - (-4)*(5x) ≥ –6x 9. -12 - (-20x) ≥ –6x 9. So, the first step will be: -12 + 20x ≥ –6x 9.</span>

How the flibberdoodle do you graph decimals on a coordinate graph?!!
Annette [7]
Plotting coordinates can be a little confusing, but it doesn't have to be as long as you remember a few important details. The first number in the coordinate set tells you how far right (for a positive number) or left (for a negative number) you need to travel on the x-axis. The second number in the coordinate set tells you how far up (for a positive number) or down (for a negative number) you need to travel on the y-axis. Any set of coordinates can be represented by the variables x and y. If you picture (x, y), it will help you remember the x-coordinate comes first, so you will travel either right or left before travelling up or down.

HELP. What is the value of y in the equation 2(2y - 12) = 0? (5 points)
maria [59]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2y - 12) = 0

distribute the 2

2·2y - 2·12 = 0

4y - 24 = 0

add 24 to both sides

4y - 24 + 24 = 0 + 24

4y = 24

divide both sides by 4

(4y)/4 = 24/4

y = 6
