In solving inequalities, it is best to be observant of the signs. As these negative or positive signs will determine whether or not we will have to switch the inequality signs.

–2(3x + 2) > –8x + 6
-6x -4 > -8x +6
Transfer and combine like terms.
-6x + 8x > 6 + 4
2x > 10
x > 5

The final answer is 5. Using this solution, we didn't have to switch the inequality sign because we avoided the negative signs. hope this helps you have an amazing day/night

Calculate the number of acres required to produce 1,000 gallons of oil in one year from microalgae and soybeans. Which one (micr

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

microalgae required less space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of oil to be produced = 1,000 gallons

Now,

We know

10,000 gallons of oil is extracted from the miroalgae per acre per year

and,

From soyabeans the oil extracted = 50 gallons per acre per year

therefore,

To produce 1,000 gallons number of acres required by microalgae

= [ Amount of oil to be produced ] ÷ [ oil extracted per acre from microalgae]

= 1,000 ÷ 10,000

= 0.1 acres

similarly

To produce 1,000 gallons number of acres required by soyabeans

= [ Amount of oil to be produced ] ÷ [ oil extracted per acre from soyabeans]

= 1,000 ÷ 50

= 20 acres

hence,

microalgae required less space.

Talja [164]

Answer:

Four less than an unknown value E) $y-4$

Quotient of a variable and four B) $\frac{z}{4}$

Some number to the power of four A) $a^4$

Four times an unknown value D) $4x$

Four more than some number C) $b+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analyze each statement separately:

- Four less than an unknown value --> this means that we have to subtract 4 to an unknown value. Calling $y$ the unknown value, it means we have to write

$y-4$

- Quotient of a variable and four --> this means we have to divide a variable by 4. Calling $z$ the unknown variabl, it means we have to write

$\frac{z}{4}$

- Some number to the power of four --> this means that we have to write the power of a number, in the form $a^m$ , where m in this case is equal to 4. Calling $a$ the unknown number, it means we have to write
