<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.

$- \frac{2}{7} x$ + 6 + $\frac{1}{7} x$ = 18

First, simplify $\frac{2}{7} x$ to $\frac{2x}{7}$ / Your problem should look like: $-\frac{2x}{7}$ + 6 + $\frac{1}{7} x$ = 18
Second, simplify $\frac{1}{7} x$ to $\frac{x}{7}$ / Your problem should look like: $- \frac{2x}{7}$ + 6 + $\frac{x}{7}$ = 18
Third, simplify $- \frac{2x}{7}$ + 6 + $\frac{x}{7}$ to $- \frac{x}{7}$ + 6 / Your problem should look like: $-\frac{x}{7}$ + 6 = 18
Fourth, regroup terms. / Your problem should look like: 6 - $\frac{x}{7}$ = 18
Fifth, multiply both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like: 42 - x = 126
Sixth, subtract 42 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: -x = 126 - 42
Seventh, simplify 126 - 42 to 84. / Your problem should look like: -x = 84
Eighth, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like: x = -84

Answer: x = -84

A box of oat cereal costs $3.90 for 15 ounces. A box of rice of cereal costs $3.30 for 11 ounces. Which box of cereal costs less

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The cost of per ounce of oat cereal is $0.04 less than per ounce cost of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of 15 ounces of oat cereal box = $3.90

Cost of 11 ounces of rice box = $3.30

To compare the unit prices of the the boxes.

Solution:

Using unitary method to find the unit prices:

If 15 ounce of oat box cost =$3.90

∴ 1 ounce of oat cereal would cost = $\$\frac{3.90}{15}=\$0.26$

∴ Per ounce cost of oat cereal = $0.26

If 11 ounce of rice box cost =$3.30

∴ 1 ounce of rice would cost = $\$\frac{3.30}{11}=\$0.3$

∴ Per ounce cost of rice = $0.3

Difference in unit costs of oat and rice = $\$0.3-\$0.26=\$0.04$

On comparing the the unit costs of oats and rice, we find out that the cost of per ounce of oat cereal is $0.04 less than per ounce cost of rice.

Which is the graph of f(x) = -3√x?<br>pls answer quickly

k0ka [10]

Answer: the graph farthest to the right is almost correct. If you substitute values for x in the function f(x)= -3√x , the output does not match the curve on the graphs shown.

If you have a choice that includes only a curve to the right of the y- axis, that would be better.

Step-by-step explanation: Square roots of Negative x-values will result in imaginary numbers. Otherwise the graph with the curve passing through coordinates (1,-3) (4,-6) and (9,-9) is a good choice.

(And ask your teacher about the square root of negative numbers on this graph.)
