Answer:

A) 20.82 > 20.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hopefully, your issue is with the symbols (< vs >) rather than actually determining which number is larger or smaller.

The wide-open end of the symbol (the left side, in the case of >) indicates the larger (more positive) number.

So, the meanings of the symbols are ...

> — "is greater than"

< — "is less than"

The only true statement of those listed is ...

20.82 is greater than 20.55, or 20.82 > 20.55 . . . . selection A

_____

When writing number comparisons, I like to use the < symbol, because it puts the numbers in number-line order. That is, the smaller (or more negative) number is on the left, just as it is on a number line.

You trade the places of the numbers when changing the symbol. For example, answer choice A could be rewritten as ...

20.55 < 20.82

You know that 20.55 is to the left of 20.82 on the number line, so you know this statement is true.

Group and factor/undistribute

(x^2y^3-2y^3)+(-2x^2+4)
(y^3)(x^2-2)+(-2)(x^2-2)
see the (x^2-2) is common term so undistribute
(x^2-2)(y^2-2)

How many solutions does 10+5x=5x+10 have?
Arturiano [62]
Simplifying
10 + 5x = 5x + 10

Reorder the terms:
10 + 5x = 10 + 5x

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 5x = 10 + -10 + 5x

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 5x = 10 + -10 + 5x
5x = 10 + -10 + 5x

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
5x = 0 + 5x
5x = 5x

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
5x + -5x = 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0 = 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0 = 0

Solving
0 = 0
Answer: 0 solutions

Solve a) 2(x+3)=x-4 b) 4(5x-2)=2(9x+3)
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

a) -10 b) 7

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 2(x+ 3) = x - 4

2x + 6 = x - 4

2x - x = -6 - 4

x = -10

b) 4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)

20x - 8 = 18x + 6

20x - 18x = 6 + 8

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7
