Answer:

No, I do not agree with the conjecture because 1 is not a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is one that can be divided by 1 and itself only. Thus it can be expressed in 2 factors only, 1 and the number itself.

Examples are; 2, 3, 5, 13, 19 , 23 etc.

So, 2 = 1 x 2

      3 = 1 x 3

     23 = 1 x 23

Prime numbers must be expressed as the product of 1 and the number.

The conjecture that every prime number can be expressed as the product of two prime numbers is false. Because 1 is not a prime number, since it has no 2 factors.

What value of x is in the solution set of 9(2x + 1) &lt; 9x - 18? <br> -4<br> -3<br> -2<br> -1
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The only possible answer that is correct is the first one, x = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the given inequality as much as possible, and then substitute each of the given x values one by one to determine which is in the solution set.

9(2x + 1) < 9x - 18 becomes 18x + 9 < 9x - 18, which, if reduced by dividing all four terms by 9, becomes 2x + 1 < x - 2.

Simplifying further, we get x < - 3.  The only possible answer that is correct is the first one, x = -4.  -4 < -3 is true.

Is there a way to understand inequalities better? I don't get them at all!
AlekseyPX
Ok for inequalities it's this < and > that so here's a example prob 3>2 so as my teacher used it put it "it's like the little number eats the bigger number." For negatives the one that's being eaten would be the one that's the closest to 0 so -3>-5 also alone way of doing this is to make a number line that's another way I was taught how to do these. I hope this helps you!
