Given:

The equation is

(x-2)=-(x-2)

Isabel says that the given equation has no  solution because a number can never be equal to its opposite.

To find:

Isabel's mistake.

Solution:

Her reason "a number can never be equal to its opposite" is not correct.

Zero is a number that can be equal to its opposite.

So, the given equation has solution for which LHS=RHS=0.

We have,

(x-2)=-(x-2)

x-2=-(x)-(-2)

x-2=-x+2

Add x and 2 on both sides.

x-2+x+2=-x+2+x+2

2x=4

Divide both sides by 2.

x=\dfrac{4}{2}

x=2

So, the given equation has a solution x=2.

Solve and graph the following inequality: 3(7x+17) > -19 + 14x
love history [14]

Answer:

Solving the inequality we get: \mathbf{x>-7}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve and graph the inequality 3(7x+17) > -19 + 14x

Solving:

3(7x+17) > -19 + 14x

Step 1: Multiply  3 with terms inside the bracket

21x+51 > -19 + 14x

Step 2:Subtracting 51 on both sides

21x+51-51 > -19 + 14x-51\\21x>14x-70\\

Step 3: Subtract 14x on both sides

21x-14x>+14x-70-14x\\7x>-70

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7

\frac{7x}{7}>\frac{-70}{7}\\x>-10

Solving the inequality we get: \mathbf{x>-7}

The graph is attached in the figure below.
