3x + 1 < −2x + 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fantom [35]3 years ago
8 0

Hello there!


The correct answer is B. Why? Well, we cannot choose A, because we don't have a multiplication sign. We cannot choose C because we also don't have a multiplication sign. However, since we have a PLUS sign and a Subtraction sign, we can say that the correct answer is option B.


3x + 1 < -2x + 8

We wanna start by subtracting 1 on both sides

3x + 1 - 1 < -2x + 8 - 1

3x < -2x + 7

Add 2x on both sides

3x + 2x < -2x + 7 + 2x

5x < 7

x < 7/5


I hope this answer helps! As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you. If you have any additional questions, feel free to comment them down below. I'll see you around!

A rectangle has a perimeter of 54 cm. It has a length of 15 cm. What is its area? *
d1i1m1o1n [39]

the area is 180 cm. to find the perimeter you would do 15+15+14+14 to get 54 cm. So for area you do (l×w) which is 15×14=180.

Three times the sum of a number and seven is negative thirty-six. What is the number?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

n =-19

Step-by-step explanation:

3* (n+7) = -36

Distribute

3n+21 = -36

Subtract 21 from each side

3n+21-21 = -36-21

3n = -57

Divide by 3

3n/3 = -57/3

n =-19

Please help me answer one of these!
babunello [35]

This seems to be referring to a particular construction of the perpendicular bisector of a segment which is not shown. Typically we set our compass needle on one endpoint of the segment and compass pencil on the other and draw the circle, and then swap endpoints and draw the other circle, then the line through the intersections of the circles is the perpendicular bisector.


There aren't any parallel lines involved in the above described construction, so I'll skip the first one.


2. Why do the circles have to be congruent ...


The perpendicular bisector is the set of points equidistant from the two endpoints of the segment. Constructing two circles of the same radius, centered on each endpoint, guarantees that the places they meet will be the same distance from both endpoints. If the radii were different the meets wouldn't be equidistant from the endpoints so wouldn't be on the perpendicular bisector.


3. ... circles of different sizes ...


[We just answered that. Let's do it again.]


Let's say we have a circle centered on each endpoint with different radii. Any point where the two circles meet will then be a different distance from one endpoint of the segment than from the other. Since the perpendicular bisector is the points that are the same distance from each endpoint, the intersection of circles with different radii isn't on it.


4. ... construct the perpendicular bisector ... a different way?


Maybe what I first described is different; there are no parallel lines.
