Solve for x: -6(x + 4) + 9 > -5(x + 6)

Mathematics

Answer:

x < 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first expand the parentheses on both sides. Remember that when expanding parentheses, the result will be the sum of the products of the "outside number" with each of the "inside number".

On the left, the parenthetical expression is: -6(x + 4). Here, the outside term is -6 and the inside terms are x and 4. So:

-6(x + 4) = -6 * x + (-6) * 4 = -6x - 24

On the right, the parenthetical expression is: -5(x + 6). Here, the outside term is -5 and the inside terms are x and 6. So:

-5(x + 6) = -5 * x + (-5) * 6 = -5x - 30

Now put these back in:

-6(x + 4) + 9 > -5(x + 6)

-6x - 24 + 9 > -5x - 30

-6x - 15 > -5x - 30

x < 15

Thus the answer is x < 15.

Hope this helps!

In square ABCD, AC = 6x + 10, and BD = 10x + 2. What is the length of AC?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B) 22

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = BD

6x+10 = 10x+2

simplify:

subtract 6x and 2 from both sides:

4x = 8

x = 2

then:

AC = 6(2)+10 = 22

If we consider the toss of four coins as an experiment, how many equally likely outcomes does the sample space have?
Arturiano [62]
There are 16 possible outcomes.

This is found by taking the number of possible outcomes for each toss, 2, and raising it to the 4th power (for 4 tosses):

2⁴ = 2*2*2*2 = 16
