Solve for x: -3x - 6 < -5x - 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
5 0

It is similar to an equation

-3x-6<-5x-2

-3x+5x<-2+6

2x<4

x<4/2

x<2

* when solving inequality problems you need to switch signs when you divide a side by a negative number.

Ex.

-3x-6<-5x-2

-6+2<-5x+3x

-4<-2x

When you divide -4 by -2, switch the lesser sign to greater sign.

-4/-2>x

2>x

Which gives you the same result either way.

x<2

Raj gets a 1.5 mile head start and runs at a rate of 4.5 miles per hour. Jacinda's progress is represented by a graph that goes
Alexxandr [17]
From the given ordered pair representing Jacinda's progress, her speed is equal to 10 miles per hour. Letting x be the time it takes for Jacinda to catch up with Raj, the total distance Raj would travel is 
                            1.5 + 4.5x
and Jacinda's total distance is 10x. Mathematically,
                                1.5 + 4.5x = 10x 
The value of x from the equation is 0.27 hours. Therefore, Jacinda needs to run 2.7 miles to catch up with Raj.

The figure shows a gas tank in the form of a rectangular prism that is 40% full. How many more gallons of gas will it take to fi
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

10.8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First change everything to inches:

2.75 ft = 33 in

1.5 ft = 18 in

Volume of tank = lwh = (33)(18)(7) = 4158 in³

The tank is 40% full, so only 60% is need to fill it. To find 60%, multiply 4158 by 0.6 = 2494.8 in³

Now find out how much 2494.8 in³ is in gallons:

231 in³ = 1 gallon

1 in³ = 1/231 gallons

2494.8 = (1/231)(2494.8) gallons = 10.8 gallons
