The true expression of the variable x in the inequality expression given as |8x - 2| < 4 is -0.25 < x < 0.75
<h3>What are inequality expressions?</h3>
Inequality expressions are mathematical statements that are represented by variables, coefficients and operators where the opposite sides are not equal
<h3>How to determine the true expression of the variable x?</h3>
The inequality expression is given as
|8x - 2| < 4
Divide through the above equations by 2
So, we have the following inequality expression
|4x - 1| < 2
Remove the absolute value sign from the inequality expression
So, we have
-2 < 4x - 1 < 2
Add 1 to all sides of the above inequality expression
So, we have
-1 < 4x < 3
Divide through the above inequality expression by 4
So, we have
-0.25 < x < 0.75
Hence, the true expression of the variable x in the inequality expression given as |8x - 2| < 4 is -0.25 < x < 0.75

Answer: -3x^3 - 7x^2 - x + 39
Step-by-step explanation:
2/(x^2 -9) - 3x/(x^2-5x+6)
get those denominators factored out
2/(x-3)(x+3) - 3x/(x-3)(x-2)
Multiply both by both denominators
2(x-3)(x-2) - 3x(x-3)(x+3)
Multiply it out
(2x^2 - 10x + 12) - (3x^3 + 9x^2 -9x - 27)
Simplify and it becomes
-3x^3 -7x^2 -x + 39
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking an algebraic approach
let the number be n, then (n - 17) is 17 subtracted from number and
- 2(n - 17) = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
n - 17 = 6 ( add 17 to both sides )
n = 23
Thus Julio's number was 23
Answer:
(-2, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 1 = 3x + 3
minus 3 from both sides
2x - 2 = 3x
minus 2x from both sides
-2 = x
then plug in -2 for x
y = 2(-2) + 1
y = -4 + 1
y = -3
(-2, -3).
