Answer: (4) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 2y if x is 3 and y is 5
8x = 24
2y = 10
24 - 10 = 14
So 8x - 2y is 14.
Are the inequalities x > 3 and 3 < x equivalent?
They both say that x must be larger than 3. No bickering here. So yep, they're equivalent.
Inequalities usually have a lot of solutions—in fact, infinitely many. Think about the inequality x > 3. This inequality states that "x must be larger than 3." Any number bigger than 3 is a solution to this inequality. That includes 3.001, 3.0001, 4, 5, 2 million, and every other number bigger than 3. We don't have time at the moment to name them all,
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number
Then 3x = its triple, and the condition is:
x - 8 < 3x
Subtract x from each side
-8 < 2x
Divide each side by 2
-4 < x
Reverse the inequality
x > -4
The smallest integer greater than -4 is -3.
Check:
-3 - 8 < 3(-3)
-11 < -9
It checks.
Answer:
5x
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the problem was.
3(3x - 2y) - (4x - 6y)
9x - 6y - 4x + 6y
5x
-x^2+2x+3=x^2-2x+3 add x^2 to both sides
2x+3=2x^2-2x+3 subtract 2x from both sides
3=2x^2-4x+3 subtract 3 from both sides
2x^2-4x=0 factor
2x(x-2)=0
So x=0 and 2
