Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

x - 2/2 - x

Hint: | Reduce (-2)/2 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -2 and 2.

The gcd of -2 and 2 is 2, so (-2)/2 = (2 (-1))/(2×1) = 2/2×-1 = -1:

x + -1 - x

Hint: | Group like terms in x - 1 - x.

Grouping like terms, x - 1 - x = (x - x) - 1:

(x - x) - 1

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

x - x = 0:

Answer: -1

Find the solution of the inequality

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

option D

x≥3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question an inequality

−4x + 2 ≤ −10

rearrange x terms to the left and constant to the right

-4x ≤ −10 - 2

-4x ≤ -12

cancel - on both sides, due to sign change inequality will also be change

4x ≥ 12

x ≥ 12/4

x ≥ 3

So, the solution of the inequality is x ≥ 3, x is greater than or equal to 3.

Answer:

<u>Answer: 22 </u>

Here's all the numbers that have 2 or more;

12, 16, 24, 32, 36, 40, 48, 56, 60, 72, 84, 88, 96, 6, 18, 30, 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems that 3 and 4 collide ever two steps. (So everytime that happens it has two traits.)

Every time 6 is multiplied it is with 3, so that's a easy one

And 8 is also easy because 4 goes into it too, so 6 and 8 are always have 2 traits.

Forgive me if I missed one, I checked a few times so it should be good!

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

around 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion question.

882 x

____ = ____

1,460 100

First, do 882 x 100 and get 88,200.

Then divide 88,200 by 1,460 to get around 60%.

Then 100-60= 40%.

Might be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is the answering method.
