What is the meaning of the statement -30 < -5 ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
bogdanovich [222]3 years ago
5 0

The symbol "<" without quotes means "less than". The number on the left is less than or smaller than the number on the right. Think of an alligator mouth representing this symbol. The mouth will face the larger amount because the alligator is greedy and wants the most food.

Another example: 5 < 8 which says "5 is less than 8" or "5 is smaller than 8". Going back to the alligator example, the alligator will want 8 pieces of food rather than 5 since it's greedy.

Based on that, the final answer is choice A

a flat for sale sign has a perimeter of 58 inches. the length is 5 inches longer than the width. what is the width?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Information that is needed to solve the problem;

The formula for the perimeter is:

2(a+b) = P

where "a" is the length and "b" is the width.

2. Solving the problem;

Substitute the given values into the formula;

2( 5 + b ) = 58

Inverse operations;

2 ( 5 + b ) = 58

/2               /2

5 + b = 29

-5        -5

b = 25

How do you solve this? r^2+32=12r
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

r = {-8, -4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

r2 = -32 + -12r

Solving

r2 = -32 + -12r

Solving for variable 'r'.

Reorder the terms:

32 + 12r + r2 = -32 + -12r + 32 + 12r

Reorder the terms:

32 + 12r + r2 = -32 + 32 + -12r + 12r

Combine like terms: -32 + 32 = 0

32 + 12r + r2 = 0 + -12r + 12r

32 + 12r + r2 = -12r + 12r

Combine like terms: -12r + 12r = 0

32 + 12r + r2 = 0

Factor a trinomial.

(8 + r)(4 + r) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(8 + r)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

8 + r = 0

Solving

8 + r = 0

Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + r = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + r = 0 + -8

r = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8

r = -8

Simplifying

r = -8

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(4 + r)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

4 + r = 0

Solving

4 + r = 0

Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + r = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + r = 0 + -4

r = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4

r = -4

Simplifying

r = -4

Solution

r = {-8, -4}
