Despite popular belief, investigators have gotten a tip that the Loch Ness Monster is actually being kept as a pet in a Scottish

Hotel (rooms numbered -10 to 10). Four specially-trained monster hunters checked different rooms. None of them found Nessie. Through process of elimination, figure out where the Nessie must be hiding. 1) x + 4 < 3 2) x 5 > 1 3) 2x + 3 > 11 4) -3x > -9 Which room must Nessie by hiding in?

<h3>Answer:</h3>

room 3 or 4

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We assume the inequalities tell the rooms that were checked and found empty.

The solution to 3) is ...

... 2x + 3 > 11

... 2x > 8 . . . . . subtract 3

... x > 4 . . . . . . .divide by 2

The solution to 4) is ...

... -3x > -9

... x < 3 . . . . . . divide by -3

Thus, rooms greater than 4 and less than 3 were found empty. Rooms 3 and 4 were not checked, so either one could hold Nessie.

_____

The other inequalities have solutions that are already covered by the solutions to these.

1) x < -1 . . . . after subtacting 4

2) x > 5 . . . . after multiplying by 5

Help me with both questions <br>plz read carefully so you can help me
Scrat [10]

Answer:

2. Both

3. e = 3, f = -5, g = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2. Order doesn't affect product

3. You get e • f = -15, e • g = 6, f • g = -10 from the problem.

   e = -15/f    (solve for e)

   (-15/f) • g = 6    (plug into second equation)

   (-15g/f) = 6    (multiply)

   -15g = 6f    (multiply)

   (-5g/2) = f    (divide)

   (-5g/2) • g = -10    (plug into last equation)

   (-5g^2)/2 = -10    (multiply)

   -5g^2 = -20    (mulitply)

   g^2 = 4    (divide)

   g = 2    (square root)

   e • g = 6    (plug in for g, solve for e)

   e • 2 = 6

   e = 3

   f • g = -10    (plug in for g, solve for f)

   f • 2 = -10

   f = -5

I don't know if your teacher made a typo because I tried this multiple times and got the same answer. I don't know how e is negative.

A group of scientists wants to investigate if they can predict the life expectancy
Brrunno [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no question asked here, bit of course it is possible to predict the life expectancies of a lot of things. This takes patience, resistance, and persistence, because working on something that takes time without persistence would result in a painful waste of time.

To predict the life expectancy of an effect is to predict how long it is going to take before it goes extinct, or seize from existence.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

No, he not correct because he only ran 4 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

If he walks for 6 min out of the 38 min, then he ran for 32 min.

d = rt        1 mi = 8r

r = 1/8 = 1 mi/8 min   Since he ran 32 min we have

d = 1/8(32) = 4 mi.

No, he not correct because he only ran 4 mi
