Solve the inequality for x:
5x - 3 ≤ 7x +7
Subtract 7x from each side:
-2x -3 ≤ 7
Add 3 to each side:
-2x ≤ 10
Divide both sides by -2, also when dividing both sides of an inequality you flip the direction of the inequality sign:
x ≥ -5
The dot will be on -5, because the inequality includes equal to, the dot is solid and is greater than, the arrow will point to the right.
The correct answer is D.
Answer:
59/10
Step-by-step explanation:
5+9/10
50/10 + 9/10
=59/10
Answer:
1) 6x+3y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the line passing through (-4, -1) and (-1, -7). Use the slope formula 
. Substitute the x and y values of the two points into the formula and solve:
So, the slope is -2.
2) Now, identify the slopes of the lines in the options. We already know the slope of 
is 
since it is in slope-intercept form. y = -2 must have a slope of 0 since it's horizontal, and all equations with the format of y = a number are horizontal.
To find the slope of 
, isolate y to put the equations into slope-intercept form (
format), and whatever the coefficient of the x-term is will be the slope.
.
So, the slope of the first option is -2. It matches the slope we calculated in the first step, so that must be the answer.
