Solve: -4 < -2x < 10

<h3>Answer:   -5 < x < 2</h3>

Explanation:

The expression -2x means -2 times x. To undo this, we divide all parts of the inequality by -2. Dividing by a negative number will flip the inequality sign. We go from "less than" to "greater than"

-4 < -2x < 10

-4/(-2) > x > 10/(-2) .... inequality signs flip

2 > x > -5

-5 < x < 2

This unknown number x is between -5 and 2. It cannot equal -5. It cannot equal 2.

Solve and graph the absolute value inequality: |2x + 4| &gt; 14.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

"number line with open circles on negative 9 and 5, shading going in the opposite directions."

Step-by-step explanation:

Your inequality doesn't include an equal sign so there will be no closed holes. It will only be open holes.

|u|>14 means that the number u has to be greater than 14 or less than -14.  These numbers I describe just now all have a distance greater than 14 from 0.

So |u|>14 implies u>14 or u<-14.

But we are solving |2x+4|>14 so this implies we have 2x+4>14 or 2x+4<-14.

2x+4>14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x    >10

Divide both sides by 2:

x      >5

2x+4<-14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x    <-18

Divide both sides by 2:

x      <-9

So our solution is x>5 or x<-9.

Graphing!

~~~~~~~O                                         O~~~~~~~~

-----------(-9)---------------------------------(5)---------------

So we shaded to the right of 5 because our inequality says x is bigger than 5.

We shaded to the left of -9 because our inequality says x is less than -9.

Activity Give the exponential model for the following situation​
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Suppose that a couple invested $50,000 in an account when their child was born, to prepare for the child's college education. If the average interest rate is 4.4% compounded annually, ( A ) Give an exponential model for the situation, and ( B ) Will the money be doubled by the time the child turns 18 years old?

( A ) First picture signifies the growth of money per year.

( B ) Yes, the money will be doubled as it's maturity would be $108,537.29.

a = p(1 + \frac{r}{n} ) {}^{nt}a=p(1+

n

r

)

nt

a = 50.000.00(1 + \frac{0.044}{1} ) {}^{(1)(18)}a=50.000.00(1+

0.044

)

(1)(18)

a = 50.000.00(1 + 0.044) {}^{(1)(18)}a=50.000.00(1+0.044)

(1)(18)

a = 50.000.00(1.044) {}^{(18)}a=50.000.00(1.044)

(18)

50,000.00 ( 2.17074583287910578440507440 it did not round off as the exact decimal is needed.

a = 108.537.29a=108.537.29

Please help me this will mark brainiest thx I will appreciate it thank you
Savatey [412]

Answer:

z=40 degrees

x=90 degrees

y=40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve z you know that 50+90+z= 180 degrees. So z equals 40. To solve x you subtract 90 from 180 to get 90 degrees. To solve you add 50+x+y. You know that x= 90. You would add the angles together to get 180 degrees. 50+90=140 and 180-140 equals 40. Sorry if i'm wrong.
