Answer:
- x ≤ 4
- x > 10
- x ≤ -7
Step-by-step explanation:
We're guessing you want to solve for x in each case. You do this in basically the same way you would solve an equation.
1. 3x +2 ≤ 14
3x ≤ 12 . . . . . subtract 2
x ≤ 4 . . . . . . . divide by 3
__
2. -5 +2x > 15
2x > 20 . . . . . . add 5
x > 10 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
__
3. -2x +4 ≥ 18
4 ≥ 18 +2x . . . . . add 2x
-14 ≥ 2x . . . . . . . subtract 18
-7 ≥ x . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

<em>Additional comment</em>
The statement above that the same methods for solving apply to both equations and inequalities has an exception. The exception is that some operations reverse the order of numbers, so make the inequality symbol reverse. The usual operations we're concerned with are <em>multiplication and division by a negative number</em>: -2 < -1; 2 > 1, for example. There are other such operations, but they tend to be used more rarely for inequalities.
You will note that we avoided division by -2 in the solution of the third inequality by adding 2x to both sides, effectively giving the variable term a positive coefficient. You will notice that also changes its relation to the inequality symbol, just as if we had left the term where it was and reversed the symbol: -2x ≥ 14 ⇔ -14 ≥ 2x ⇔ x ≤ -7 ⇔ -7 ≥ x
1 dozen = 12
Divide 941 by 12:
941 / 12 = 78.42
So the greatest number of dozens he can make is 78.
Multiply each scale factor by the first set of given perimeter and area
As shown in the picture below
Answer:
B. 1 over 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the probability of the spinner landing on 5, we need to first know what probability is,
probability = required outcome/all possible outcome
since the spinner is divided into 8 equal sections and each section contains number from 1-8, this implies there are total of 64 numbers on the spinner. This implies that all possible outcome = 64
In each section there is 5, since there are 8 sections on the spinner, the number of 5's on the spinner are 8.
This implies that the required outcome = 8
but
probability = required outcome/all possible outcome
probability (of the spinner landing on 5) = 8/64 =1/8
