Answer: x < 2

Step-by-step explanation: Since <em>x</em> is being multiplied by 5, we divide by 5 on both sides of the inequality to get <em>x < 2</em>.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving inequalities is easy, you just need to follow the standard rules of algebra. Also, when multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign is reversed.

Step 1: Divide by 5

x < 2

Step 2: Check

5(1) < 10

5 < 10✔️

Step 3: Check Again

Since an inequality has multiple solutions, it is important to check at least 2, to determine if the entire range of solutions is true.

5(-6) < 10

-30 < 10✔️

Step 4: Verified Answer

x < 2

I'm always happy to help :)

How do you factor 8x^2+18x+9=0

jeka57 [31]

First off, do a prime factoring of the constant and leading coefficient, namely 9 and 8 respectively.

so a prime factoring of 8 is 2*2*2, and a prime factoring of 9 is 3*3.

so, those are the factors... now, how do we produce products that gives us the middle coefficient +18?

well, let's see hmmmm 2 * 3 * 3 and 2 * 3....so that's 18 + 6, that's 24.. .so... no good is not 18, let's try again.

2*2*3 and 2 * 3, so that's 12 + 6, now, that's +18

so we'll use those, 2*2*3 and 2*3, or 4 * 3 an 2 * 3, (4x + 3)(2x + 3) = 0.

Find the TWO integers whos product is -12 and whose sum is 1<br>

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

$\rm Numbers = 4 \ and \ -3.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The sum of two numbers is 1 .

The product of the nos . is 12 .

And we need to find out the numbers. So let us take ,

First number be x

Second number be 1-x .

According to first condition :-

$\rm\implies 1st \ number * 2nd \ number= -12\\\\\rm\implies x(1-x)=-12\\\\\rm\implies x - x^2=-12\\\\\rm\implies x^2-x-12=0\\\\\rm\implies x^2-4x+3x-12=0\\\\\rm\implies x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0\\\\\rm\implies (x-4)(x+3)=0\\\\\rm\implies\boxed{\red{\rm x = 4 , -3 }}$
