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

1 answer:

5 0

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! :)

What is the next value 4d 7g 10j 13

bearhunter [10]

13m 16p

Add three to every number next as well as move up three letters.

For example:
1A is the starting point.
To get from 1A to 4D you add three.

1 + 3 = 4
A to get to D is three letters up.
A b c D

Same thing for 4D to get to 7G.

4 +3 = 7
D to get to G
D e f G

Your answer:
I'm not sure if you wanted me to find the letter of the equation or the actual next part. On your question you have just 13 up there, no letter so if youre trying to find the letter (13m) is your answer.

If you're trying to find the next equation to the puzzle (16p) is your answer.

Hope this helped!:)

Mary stated that 2.01 x 10⁶ is less than 4.8 x 10⁴ because 2.01 is less than 4.8. what was mary's mistake ?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is always written as a number between 1 and 9.9999999 repeating. There follows a power of 10. I'm not sure which answer would help you see it clearer but

4.8 * 10^4 the decimal is shifted 4 places the right which is 48000 where you have no numbers, you use zeros.

2.01 * 10^6 means that you shift the decimal 6 places to the right.

2010000

So 2 million is larger than 48 thousand.

The other way to do it is just to look at the power. 6 is more than 4. 6 describes the number of places you move. So does 4. 6>4 so that's the larger number.

I need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find X. I don’t know how to do that!!

frutty [35]

Answer:

17) x=8

18) $x=\sqrt{189}$ or $x= 3\sqrt{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So the rule is $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ , "c" being the hypothenuse, or the long line that is opposite to the right angle.

17) We know that both values of x are equal to each other, which makes everything 10x easier!

$x^{2} +x^{2} =(8\sqrt{2}) ^{2}$

(by the way we know the x values are our a and b values because they are legs! the way I like to remember the legs is that they are connected to the right angle box, and therefore support the hypothenuse)

<em>simplify</em> (╥︣﹏╥)

$2x^2=8^2(\sqrt{2} )^{2}$

$2x^2=64(2)$

$2x^2=128$

$x^{2}= 128/2$

$x^{2} =64$

x=8

18) Just pretend that the flipped triangle doesn't exist. It's parallel to the other triangle with values on it, and basically servers no purpose other than being parallel to the sister triangle :)

Anyways, since we know the hypothenuse (15) but we don't know one of our leg values (x), we're going to change our equation a bit!

$c^{2} - b^{2} = a^{2}$
