First we'll do two basic steps. Step 1 is to subtract 18 from both sides. After that, divide both sides by 2 to get x^2 all by itself. Let's do those two steps now

2x^2+18 = 10
2x^2+18-18 = 10-18 <<--- step 1
2x^2 = -8
(2x^2)/2 = -8/2 <<--- step 2
x^2 = -4

At this point, it should be fairly clear there are no solutions. How can we tell? By remembering that x^2 is never negative as long as x is real. 

Using the rule that negative times negative is a positive value, it is impossible to square a real numbered value and get a negative result. 

For example
2^2 = 2*2 = 4
8^2 = 8*8 = 64
(-10)^2 = (-10)*(-10) = 100
(-14)^2 = (-14)*(-14) = 196

No matter what value we pick, the result is positive. The only exception is that 0^2 = 0 is neither positive nor negative.

So x^2 = -4 has no real solutions. Taking the square root of both sides leads to

x^2 = -4
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-4)
|x| = sqrt(4)*sqrt(-1)
|x| = 2*i
x = 2i or x = -2i
which are complex non-real values

f(x)=5m-4

Substitute:

f(6)=5(6)-4

Multiply:

f(6)= 30-4

Subtract:

f(6)= 26

Given that $x \le -7,$ identify all the correct conclusions. (A) $3x \le -21.$ (B) $3x \ge -21.$ (C) $-3x \le 21.$ (D) $-3x \ge
exis [7]

Answer:

Options A and D are correct choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an inequality x\leq -7 and we are asked to find the correct options from our given choices.

Let us solve inequalities in our given options one by one to see which of these matches with our given inequality.

(A) 3x\leq -21  

x\leq \frac{-21}{3}

x\leq -7

We can see that option A gives the same answer as our given inequality, therefore, option A is the correct choice.

(B) 3x\geq -21

x\geq \frac{-21}{3}

x\geq -7

This inequality represented in option C gives solution that x should be greater than or equal to -7, which is opposite to our given inequality, therefore, option B is incorrect.

(C) -3x\leq 21

Dividing inequality by a negative number swaps inequality sign.

x\geq \frac{21}{-3}

x\geq -7

This inequality gives solution that x should be greater than or equal to -7, which is opposite to our given inequality, therefore, option C is incorrect.

(D) -3x\geq 21  

Dividing inequality by a negative number swaps inequality sign.

x\leq \frac{21}{-3}

x\leq -7

We can see that option D gives the same answer as our given inequality, therefore, option D is the correct choice.

HURRY!!!! NO SPAM!!!! Identify the area of the trapezoid.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

area =  >

a+b/2*h

Here,

a = 12xcm

b= 15xcm

h= 7cm

=  >

(12+15)xcm/2*7

=27xcm*3.5
