Answer:

k > 1 is the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 'Negative 5 is fewer than 6 less than a number k', so algebraically it means that - 5 < k - 6.

Then this is a linear inequality of single variable k and we have to solve it.

Now, we have

- 5 < k - 6

⇒ - 5 + 6 < k - 6 + 6 {Adding 6 to both sides}

⇒ 1 < k

⇒ k > 1

This is the solution of the given inequality. (Answer)

A sno-cone machine priced at $139 is on sale for 20% off. What is the price of the sno-cone machine after the discount? *

lawyer [7]

So percents are just written as 20% = 0.2 so keep that in mind

139 divided by 0.2 is 95 , which would be the price after the discount :)

hope this helps!

50 POINTS!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! CORRECT ANSWERS PLS 1 HOUR LEFT

Brut [27]

Answer:

○ 3

○ y + ½ = 3(x - 2)

○ Multiply both sides of the equation by 3. The Standard Form of the equation is 12x - 2y = 24.

○ 5x - 3y = 15

○ y = ½x + 5⁄2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the rate of change [slope]:

-y₁ + y₂\-x₁ + x₂ = m → (-1, 1) and (-2, -2)

$\frac{2 + 1}{2 - 1} = 3$

__________________________________________________________

According to the Point-Slope Formula, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting this coordinate into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS:

(2, -½) → y + ½ = 3(x - 2)

__________________________________________________________

We do not want fractions in our Standard Equation, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it:

-3[4x - ⅔y = 8] → -12x + 2y = -24

** They should have multiplied by -3 instead of 3 because that negative is hooked up to everything in the fraction, but since the exercise gave you 12x - 2y = 24, go with 12x - 2y = 24.

__________________________________________________________

If you would take a look at this graph real closely, you will see that this graph intersects the y-axis and x-axis at ENDPOINTS, so to find the x-intercept, you simply plug in zero for y: 5x = 15, and you will know right away that x is set to equal 3, which is what you see in the graph, (3, 0). Now, to find the y-intercept, you simply plug in zero for x: -3y = 15, and you will know right away that y is set to equal -5, which is what you see on the graph as well, (0, -5). With that being said, you have your answer.

__________________________________________________________

y - 3 = ½(x - 1)

y - 3 = ½x - ½

+ 3 + 3

_____________

y = ½x + 2½

* 2½ = 5⁄2

find the equation of the linear function which passes through the points (1,-3) and (4,-2) give your answer in y=mx+b form

Tpy6a [65]

To solve this problem, we first have to find the slope of the two given points. To find the slope, we have to use slope intercept form, which is y₂ - y₁ divided by x₂ - x₁. We substitute each variable for its corresponding value, and we'll get -2 - (-3) divided by 4-1. If we simplify the expression, we'll get 1/3. Next, we plug in the slope and one ordered pair into the equation and we get -3 = 1/3 * 1 + b. We should solve for b and we end up with -3 1/3 = b. Therefore, the equation is y = 1/3x - 3 1/3.
