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

Can you help me? Please explain how you got it!
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must find the x and y intercepts for y = -2x - 4. The y-intercept is -4, since it is b in y = mx + b, but you can also find it by plugging in zero for x:

y = -2(0) - 4 = 0 -4=-4

The x-intercept is found by plugging in zero for y:

0=-2x-4

0+4=-2x-4+4

4=-2x

\frac{4}{-2}=\frac{-2x}{-2}

-2=x

The graph with an x-intercept of -2 and a y-intercept of -4 is C. Also, less than inequalities have the shading underneath the line, so we definitely know C is the answer.
