*To solve inequalities is similar to solving equations: isolate the desired variable to one side.

So firstly, distribute -8 to (p + 1):

$5p-8p-8>16$

Next, combine like terms:

$-3p-8>16$

Next, add 8 to both sides:

$-3p>24$

Lastly, divide both sides by -3. Now since you are dividing by a negative, you will be flipping the inequality symbol as well. Your final answer will be $p$

Answer:

I think there would be 86 blue marbles

x=4(106 - x ) + 6

x= 424 - 4x + 6

5x= 430

x= 86 blue marbles

Tell me if I'm wrong, hope this helps.

Round 24.99 to the nearest tenth

klasskru [66]

A tenth of 24.99 would be the first 9 after the point. In order to round it to the nearest tenth, we must look at the number after it. If that number is 5 or above, we must make the tenth one higher. In this case, the number after the tenth is above 5, so we change the tenth to a 1! Now the number becomes 25.00

Simplify the expression. (3x/y)^-3

AysviL [449]

Answer:

y^3/(27 x^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

((3 x)/y)^(-3)

((3 x)/y)^(-3) = (y/(3 x))^3:

(y/(3 x))^3

Multiply each exponent in y/(3 x) by 3:

(y^3)/((3 x)^3)

Multiply each exponent in 3 x by 3:

y^3/(3^3 x^3)

3^3 = 3×3^2:

y^3/(3×3^2 x^3)

3^2 = 9:

y^3/(3×9 x^3)

3×9 = 27:

Answer: y^3/(27 x^3)

The slope of a line is undefined, and the x-intercept is -7. what is the equation of the line?

Andreyy89

The equation of line with undefined slope and x - intercept -7 is x = -7

Solution:

Given that the slope of line is undefined and the x intercept is -7

To find: Equation of line

If a line has undefined slope, then it is a vertical line

A vertical line has undefined slope because all points on the line have the same x-coordinate

The equation of a vertical line always takes the form:

x = b

where, "b" is the x - intercept

Given x - intercept is -7

Thus the equation of line is:

$x = -7$

Therefore, the equation of line is found
