Answer:

x>4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Subtract by 5 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>5-2x-5<8x-3-5</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>-2x<8x-8</em>

<em>Subtract by 8x from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>-2x-8x<8x-8-8x</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>-10x<-8</em>

<em>Multiply by -1 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>(-10x)(-1)>(-8)(-1)</em>

<em>Simplify.</em>

<em>10x>8</em>

<em>Divide by 10 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>10x/10>8/10</em>

<em>Simplify, to find the answer.</em>

<em>8/10=4/5</em>

<em>x>4/5 is the correct answer.</em>

<em>I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day! </em>

Answer:

Isolating the x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solving this problem is to isolate the variable, x.

To do so, subtract 8x and 5 from both sides.

Step #1)

5 - 2x < 8x - 3

5 (-5) - 2x (-8x) < 8x (-8x) - 3 (-5)

-2x - 8x < -3 - 5

-10x < -8

Explain why 90 is not a square number
anygoal [31]

90 is not a square number because you cannot multiple two of the same number to get 90.

For example, 4 is a square number, because 2 x2 = 4

Likewise, 9 is a square number (3 x3), and 81 is a square number (9 x 9)

if 8 and 15 are two smallest values in a pythagorean triple, what is the largest value, c, in the triple
GaryK [48]

Answer:

c = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.

The equation is a² + b² = c².

"a" and "b" are the length of the two shorter sides or values.

"c" is the length of the longest side or value, also the hypotenuse.

Since we know the two smaller values, we can <u>replace "a" and "b" with 8 and 15</u>. It does not matter which letter you decide to replace with which number.

Then<u> simplify and  isolate "c" </u>to find the largest value.

a² + b² = c²

8² + 15² = c²         Substitute "a" and "b". Square the numbers to simplify

64 + 225 = c²        Add to simplify

289 = c²        

√289 = √c²        Square root both sides

√289 = c      "c" will be isolated because √ and ² are reverse operations

c = √289    Put 'c' on the left side for standard formatting.

c = 17           Answer

Therefore the largest value, c, is 17 in the triple.
