Answer:

x < -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-5<-12, add 5 to both sides so then you get 2x<-8, then divide by two, x<-4 and your answer!

Answer: x<7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. You are moving the constant, 5, to the right-hand side and changing the sign from a - to a +. Your new inequality is 2x<-12+5.

Step 2. Calculate the sum. You are adding -12 and 5. This is what your new inequality looks like: 2x<-7.

Step 3 (final step). You will now divide both sides by 2, and you will get a final answer of x<-7/2.

Hope this helps!

Solve for p... -5(p + 3/5) = -4

Alla [95]

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(p + 3/5 ) = -4

-5p - 3/5 *5 = -4

-5p - 3 = - 4

-5p = -4 +3

-5p = -1

therefore p = 1/ 5

Solve the following system of equations. Write each of your answers as a fraction reduced to lowest terms. In other words, write

morpeh [17]

Answer:

x = 57/28

y = -95/84

z = 97/168

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the application in the next link: https://www.zweigmedia.com/RealWorld/tutorialsf1/scriptpivotold.html

Start with the expanded array:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&5&8&1\\3&2&2&5\\-2&-7&2&5\\\end{array}\right]$

then using the tool provided, make row operations until you find the solution:

r2 = r2-3r1

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&5&8&1\\0&-13&-22&2\\-2&-7&2&5\\\end{array}\right]$

r3 = r3+2r1

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&5&8&1\\0&-13&-22&2\\0&3&18&7\\\end{array}\right]$

r2 = r2*(-1/13)

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&5&8&1\\0&1&22/13&-2/13\\0&3&18&7\\\end{array}\right]$

r1 = r1- r2*5

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-6/13&23/13\\0&1&22/13&-2/13\\0&3&18&7\\\end{array}\right]$

r3 = r3+ r2*-3

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-6/13&23/13\\0&1&22/13&-2/13\\0&0&168/13&97/13\\\end{array}\right]$

r3 = r3*13/168

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-6/13&23/13\\0&1&22/13&-2/13\\0&0&1&97/168\\\end{array}\right]$

r2 = r2- r3*22/13

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-6/13&23/13\\0&1&0&-95/84\\0&0&1&97/168\\\end{array}\right]$

r2 = r2+ r3*6/13

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&0&57/28\\0&1&0&-95/84\\0&0&1&97/168\\\end{array}\right]$

Here you have a reduced array an therefore the answers to each variable are on each row:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]$
