Answer:

8\ units< x < 18\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>Triangle Inequality Theorem</u> states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

so

Applying the Theorem

case 1) 42+4x > 2x-6

4x-2x > -6-42

2x > -48

x > -24\ units

case 2) 42+(2x-6) >4x

42-6 >4x-2x

36 >2x

18 >x -----> rewrite

x

case 3) 4x+(2x-6) > 42

4x+2x > 42+6

6x > 48

x > 8\ units

therefore

8\ units< x < 18\ units

Recall that all three angles in a triangle equals 180.
Knowing this, we just have to add up all the angles and figure out what the value 'x' is.

(x-22 + x-17 + 3x+19) = 180
Simplify:
5x - 20 = 180
Add 20 to both sides:
5x = 200
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 40

Now that we found the value for x, we need to solve for angle A.
Simply input the value of 'x' into angle A's equation:
40 - 22 = 18

Angle A = 18 degrees

Good luck! If you need me to explain anything, just ask :))

Ghella [55]

Answer:

PART A: Inequality (a)

Solve for y

The graph of y ≥ ⅓(8-x) is represented by the upper red line and all points in the shaded area below it. The line is solid because points on the line satisfy the conditions.

 Inequality (b)

Solve for y

The graph of y ≥ 2 - x is represented by the lower blue line and all points in the shaded area above it. The line is solid because points on the line satisfy the conditions. The solution lies in the purple area. It consists of all combinations of x and y that make y ≥ ⅓(8 - x) and y ≥ 2 - x. A practical but not a mathematical condition is that all values of x and y must be zero or positive numbers (for example, you can't have -2 servings of food), so I have plotted only the numbers in the first quadrant.

PART B: If a point is a solution of the system, then the point must satisfy both inequalities of the system.

For x=8, y=2. Verify inequality A  is not true. So the point does not satisfy inequality A. Therefore, the point is not included in the solution area for the system.

PART C: I choose the point (3,1) which is included in the solution area for the system.

That means Michelle buys 3 serves of dry food and 1 serving of wet food.

What is the sum and the product of X to the power of 2, and X
melomori [17]

Answer:

The sum is x^2 + x, the product is x^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding x^2 and x leaves no like terms, so no simplification is required.

Multiplying gives x^2*x, which is x*x*x, which is then x^3
