Four times the sum of a number and 15 is at least 120. Find all possible solutions for x

First translate the English phrase "Four times the sum of a number and 15 is at least 120" into a mathematical inequality.

"Four times..." means we're multiplying something by 4.

"... the sum of a number and 15..." means we're adding an unknown and 15 and then multiplying the result by 4.

"... is at least 120" means when we substitute the unknown for a value, in order for that value to be in the solution set, it can only be less than or equal to 120.

So, the resulting inequality is 4(x + 15) ≤ 120.

Simplify the inequality.

4(x + 15) ≤ 120
4x + 60 ≤ 120 <-- Using the distributive property
4x ≤ 60 <-- Subtract both sides by 60
x ≤ 15 <-- Divide both sides by 4

Now that we have the inequality in a simplified form, we can easily see that in order to be in the solution set, the variable x can be no bigger than 15.

In interval notation it would look something like this:

[15, ∞)

In set builder notation it would look something like this:

{x | x ∈ R, x ≤ 15}

It is read as "the set of all x, such that x is a member of the real numbers and x is less than or equal to 15".

Mole Conversion:<br> What is the mass of 3.13 x 1023 molecules of carbon dioxide?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The mass of 3.13*10²³ molecules of carbon dioxide is 22.88 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole and it applies to any substance.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 6.023*10²³ molecules are present in 1 mole, 3.13*10²³ molecules are present in how many moles?

moles=\frac{3.13*10^{23}molecules*1 mole }{6.023*10^{23}molecules}

moles= 0.52

Since the molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44 g / mole, then the following rule of three can be applied: if there are 44 g in 1 mole, how much mass is there in 0.52 moles?

mass=\frac{0.52 moles*44 g}{1 mole}

mass= 22.88 g

<u><em>The mass of 3.13*10²³ molecules of carbon dioxide is 22.88 g.</em></u>
