Simplify by combing like terms to get 2x+5
The answers would be:
the coefficient is 2
the constant is 5
There are two terms.
Answer: x < 2
Explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get <em>x</em> by itself on one side.
Since 3 is being subtracted from <em>x</em>, we add 3
to both sides of the inequality to get <em>x < 2</em>.
Before we graph, write your answer in set notation.
We can write this as {x: x < 2}.
It's important to understand what this means.
This means that any number less than 2 is a solution to this inequality.
I have graphed the inequality for you below.
Start with an open dot on +2.
We use an open dot because +2 is not included as a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:
Correct
Answer:
a=50 b=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Call A and B the 2 present ages.
Ten years from now, A is twice as old as B -->
(A + 10) = 2(B + 10) (1)
Five years ago, A was 3 times as old as B -->
(A - 5) = 3(B - 5) (2).
Solve the system (1) and (2).
From (2) --> A = 3B - 15 + 5 = 3B - 10.
Replace this value of A into (1) -->
3B - 10 + 10 = 2B + 20 --> B = 20. Then,
A = 3B - 10 = 60 - 10 = 50.
Check
!0 years from now --> A = 60 and B = 30 --> A = 2B .OK
5 years ago --> A = 45 and B = 15 --> A = 3B. OK
