Check attachment for the remaining part of the questions.

Answer:

The correct options are:

C. Twelve less three times a number is at least nine.

F. Twelve minus the product of three and a number is no smaller that nine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 12 - 3x ≥ 9,

we want to check which phrase from the options can be used to represent the inequality.

12 - 3x: This means the product of 3 and a number is subtracted from 12.

≥: This is the "Greater or equal to" symbol. It is used to show that the quantity on the left hand side of the symbol is at least, the exact quantity on the right. It means the quantity on the right hand side can be equal, or greater, but can never be smaller the quantity on the left hand side.

So, the statement means

When 3 is multiplied my a number, and then the result is subtracted from 12, what we have is at least 9.

The only statements that corresponds to this from the options are:

1. Twelve less three times a number is at least nine.

2. Twelve minus the product of three and a number is no smaller that nine.

Answer:

Twelve less three times a number is at least nine.

Twelve minus the product of three and a number is no smaller than nine.

Step-by-step explanation:

complete question is:

Twelve less than three times a number is greater than or equal to nine.

Twelve less than three times a number is at least nine.

Twelve less three times a number is at least nine.

Twelve minus the product of three and a number is no more than nine.

Twelve minus the product of three and a number is no smaller than nine.

ANSWER:

<u>Twelve less three times a number is at least nine.</u>

The phrase "twelve less three..." means that the "three times a number" is being subtracted from twelve. So, it has to be at least nine.

<u>Twelve minus the product of three and a number is no smaller than nine.</u>

Even the least number you suppose is 1 we'll get 9

e.g: 12-3(1)=9. Therefore, this statement also represent the inequality

Is the statement (3^5)^4 equal to (3^4)^5 ? explain the reasoning, DUE TOMORROW
Shkiper50 [21]

Note that both 5 and 4 are exponents, and their product is 5*4=20, or 4*5=20. Thus,

(3^5)^4 is equal to (3^4)^5

Review:

(a to the power b)to the power c = a to the power bc.

Thus, (3 to the power 5)^4 = 3^20; the same is true if you reverse the positions of the 5 and the 4.
