7 0

Answer:

x>48/5 or x<-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Solve for x</em></u>

<u>a) 12x + 7 < -11</u>

12x < -11-7

12x < -18

x < -18/12

<em>⇒ Simplify: divide the numerator by 6</em>

x < -3/2

<u>b) 5x – 8 > 40</u>

5x > 40+8

5x > 48

x > 48/5

Therefore, x>48/5 or x<-3/2.

Nataliya [291]
First, let's find out how many 5/6 pound bags he can fill with on 2 pound bag.

2 divided by 5/6
2 x 6/5
2.4

He can fill 2.4 bags with one 2 bag.
Now we just need to multiply 2.4 by a number that will make it a whole number. You can use the guess and check method starting with 2 to figure your answer out, but 2.4 x 5 = 12 which is a whole number.

This means that Chad needs to buy 5 of the 2 pound bags to fill 12 of the 5/6 pound bags, and he will not have peanuts leftover

saw5 [17]

Answer: x=1 or x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula is -b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } /2

a=1 b=2 c=-3

Substitute

(-2+-\sqrt{2^{2}-4(1)(-3) }) /2\\(-2+-\sqrt{4+12}) /12\\(-2+-\sqrt{16}) /2\\(-2+-4) /2\\x=\frac{-2+4}{2} \\x=\frac{-2-4}{2} \\\\\\Simplify\\x=\frac{2}{2} \\\\x=\frac{-6}{2} \\\\Simplify\\x=1\\x=-3
