Break up chain with AND statement:
(2/3)t - 1 < t + 7 AND <span>t + 7 ≤ -2t + 15
left side, we solve for t
</span>
<span>(2/3)t - 1 < t + 7
(2/3)t - t < 7 + 1
(-1/3)t < 8
t > -24
right side, we solve for t</span>
<span>t + 7 ≤ -2t + 15
t + 2t </span><span>≤ 15 - 7
3t </span><span>≤ 8
t </span><span>≤ 8/3
So our answer would be </span>
t > -24 AND t <span>≤ 8/3
as an interval, this is
</span>-24 < t <span>≤ 8/3
or in interval notation
(-24, 8/3]</span>
Answer:
no it isn't
Step-by-step explanation:
if you find all of the angles using the angle addition postulate and supplementary angles rule (add to 180 degrees), you will be left with an angle that is not able to satisfy either of these rules, 75
60
I find it easier to start from scratch and write out the equations, then compare them with the given equations.
Let m and j represent the ages of the two boys. Then m-5=(2/3)(j-5)
Also, in ten years: m+10 = (5/6)j.
Let's solve this system: Mult the first eqn by 3 to remove the fraction:
3(m-5) = 2(j-5), or 3m - 15 = 2j -10. Next, mult. the 2nd eqn by 6 to remove the fraction: 6m+60 = 5j.
Our two equations are (at this point) 3 m - 15 = 2j - 10 and
6m +60 = 5j
Let's mult. the first equation by -2, so as to obtain the coefficient -6 for m:
-6m + 30 = -4j + 10
6m + 60 = 5j
---------------------------
90 = j + 10, so j = 80 (wow!)
Let's now find m: 6m + 60 = 5(80), or 6m = 400+60 = 460
Then m = 76 2/3.
We must check our solution (m = 76 2/3, j = 80):
Let's subst. these values into m-5=(2/3)(j-5)
Does 76 2/3 - 5 = (2/3)(80) - 10/3?
Does 76 2/3 - 15/3 = 160/3 - 10/3?
Does 76 - 15 = 160 - 10 No. So something's wrong here.
Going back to the problem statement:
<span>x-5=2/3(y-5) and x+10=5/6(y+10) seems correct!
Mike's age 5 years ago was x-5, and james' age 5 years ago was y-5. The multiplier (2/3) is also correct.
Mikes age 10 years from now will be x+10, and james' y+10.
The first answer set is the correct one.</span>
I believe the answer is A
It’s A i did the test myself..
