Can someone help me with this please

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have to do is to substitute the values of x and y that we are given into the inequality:

x = 8

y = 7

y > 4x - 6

7 > 4(8) - 6

7 > 32 - 6

7 > 26

This is not true so it isn't a solution

The Tunnel of Fear ride climbs straight up to its peak 50 meters above the ground. Then, it drops 65 meters into an underground
weqwewe [10]

Answer: -15 meters


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The Tunnel of Fear ride climbs straight up to its peak above the ground = 50 meters or +50 meters

Then, it drops into an underground tunnel  = 65 meters or -65 meters

Thus, the elevation of the tunnel relative to the ground= +50-65=-15 meters

Hence, the elevation of the tunnel relative to the ground= -15 meters.

A 32-ft pipe must be cut into three pieces. The longest piece will be twice as long as the shortest piece, and the medium-sized
True [87]

Answer:

7, 11, 14 feet from shortest to longest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the shortest pipe is equal to x, and work from there.

The medium size piece is 4 feet longer than the shortest piece, so it is equal to 4+x

The longest piece is twice as long as the shortest piece, so it is equal to 2 * x.

The three pieces added up make up the 32 feet pipe, so we can write this as

(2*x) + (4+x) + x = 32

2*x + 4 + x + x = 32

4 * x + 4 = 32

subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

4 * x = 28

divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x

x= 7

Therefore, the shortest piece is x=7 feet long. The medium piece is x+4=11 feet long, and the longest piece is x*2=14 feet long
