Describe how to solve the inequality 3(a+5)<9

First, let's use the distributive property on 3(a+5)

3(a + 5) = 3a + 3(5) = 3a + 15

Now, let's go back to the inequality

3(a+5) < 9

Use the distributive property

3a + 15 < 9

Subtract both sides by 15

3a < -6

Divide both sides by 3

a < -2

That's your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)

Let f(x) = 4x – 2 and g(x) = x + 1. Find the following function value.<br> (f - g)(-3)
Nataly [62]

Answer:

(f - g)(3) = 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Function Notation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 4x - 2

g(x) = x + 1

<u>Step 2: Find</u>

<em>Find (f - g)(x)</em>

  1. Substitute:                         (f - g)(x) = 4x - 2 - (x + 1)
  2. Distribute -1:                      (f - g)(x) = 4x - 2 - x - 1
  3. Combine like terms:         (f - g)(x) = 3x - 3

<em>Find (f - g)(3)</em>

  1. Substitute:                         (f - g)(3) = 3(3) - 3
  2. Multiply:                             (f - g)(3) = 9 - 3
  3. Subtract:                            (f - g)(3) = 6

I need help setting up my problem
Genrish500 [490]

The measure of angle A is 144.3 degrees and the angle to cut the molding is 54.3 degrees

<h3>How to solve for angle A?</h3>

Start by solving the acute part of angle A using the following sine function

sin(Ax) = (30 - 4)/32

Evaluate the quotient

sin(Ax) = 0.8125

Take the arc sin of both sides

Ax = 54.3

The measure of angle A is then calculated as:

A = 90 + Ax

This gives

A = 90 + 54.3

Evaluate

A = 144.3

Hence, the measure of angle A is 144.3 degrees

<h3>The angle to cut the molding</h3>

In (a), we have:

Ax = 54.3

This represents the angle where the molding would be cut

Hence, the angle to cut the molding is 54.3 degrees

A lifeguard is in a look out chair and sees a person in distress. The eye level of the lifeguard is 15 feet above the ground. Th
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person is 22 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A lifeguard sees a person in distress.The eye level of the lifeguard is 15 feet above the ground. Angle of depression is 34°.

To find: Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person.

Solution : If we draw a triangle then tan∅ = \frac{height}{base}

               Here base is the horizontal distance.

               Now we put the values in the formula.

               tan 34° = \frac{15}{base}

              Or Base = \frac{15}{tan34}

                             = \frac{15}{0.675} = 22.22 feet

So the answer is 22 feet.
