Which values from the given replacement set make up the solution set of the inequality?

ziro4ka [17]

8,9,10
how i found this out was if u replace m with 8 it will be 8+7 which is 15 and less then 18
for 9 its 9+7 which is 16 which is less then 18
and for 10 its 10+7 which is 17 which is less then 18
and for 11 its 11+7 is 18 which is equal to 18 so it would not apply to this equation
hope this helps

You wish to take a flight from Nevada to New York. Use the point (-4, 0) to represent Nevada, and the (5, 2) to represent New Yo

Flauer [41]

Using proportions, it is found that the ordered pair that represents the location of the layover is given by: (2.75, 1.5).

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the flight distance is partitioned in a ratio of 3:1, hence:

L - Nv = 3/4(Ny - Nv).

This ratio is applied for both coordinates, hence, for the x-coordinate:

$x + 4 = \frac{3}/{4}(5 + 4)$
