Solve for x: -2x - 3 > 97

Mathematics
1 answer:
DENIUS [597]3 years ago
6 0
To solve for x, we need to get it on one side by itself, and then to make sure we are left with ONLY x, no coefficients or anything.
-2x -3 > 97.
Add 3 to both sides.
-2x > 100.
Divide both sides by -2 (remember to flip the inequality when dealing with negatives).
x < -50
I hope this helps!

leonid [27]

Answer: the cost per unit of gas is $0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost per unit of electricity.

Let y represent the cost per unit of gas.

During one month, a homeowner used 600 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $344. It means that

600x + 100y = 344- - - - - - - - - -1

The next month, 400 units of electricity and 250 units of gas were used for a total cost of $299.

It means that

400x + 250y = 299- - - - - - - - - -1

Multiplying equation 1 by 400 and equation 2 by 600, it becomes

240000x + 40000y = 137600

240000x + 150000y = 179400

Subtracting, it becomes

- 110000y = - 41800

y = - 41800/- 110000

y = 0.38

Substituting y = 0.38 into equation 1, it becomes

600x + 100 × 0.38 = 344

600x + 38 = 344

600x = 344 - 38 = 306

x = 306/600

x = 0.51

A bag of marbles contains 3 red marbles, 7 blue marbles, and 5 orange marbles. If a marble is drawn from the bag and not replace
daser333 [38]

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{14}.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Red marbles = 3

Blue marbles = 7

Orange marbles = 5

Total marbles = 3+7+5 = 15

Probability of getting a red marble is

P(Red)=\dfrac{\text{Red marbles}}{\text{Total marbles}}

P(Red)=\dfrac{3}{15}

P(Red)=\dfrac{1}{5}

If a marble is drawn from the bag and not replaced. So remaining marbles is 15-1=14. Now,

Probability of getting an orange marble is

P(orange )=\dfrac{\text{Orange  marbles}}{\text{Total remaining marbles}}

P(orange)=\dfrac{5}{14}

Now,

P(\text{red then orange})=P(Red)\times P(orange)

P(\text{red then orange})=\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{5}{14}

P(\text{red then orange})=\dfrac{1}{14}

Therefore, the required probability is  \dfrac{1}{14}.
