Answer: x<-6 *The answer should be the negative sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

subtract 5 both sides of an equation.

5-2x-5>17-5

simplify.

-2x>12

multiply by -1 both sides of an equation.

(-2x)(-1)<12(-1)

simplify.

2x<-12

divide by 2 both sides of an equation.

2x/2<-12/2

-12/2=-6

12/2=6

6*2=12

12/6=2

x<-6

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

chest volume is 8100 cubic inches the length is 30 inches and the width is 15 inches how tall will the chest be

romanna [79]

The volume of a cuboid is given in terms of length, width, and height by ...

... V = LWH

Filling in the given numbers, we can solve for the height.

... 8100 in³ = (30 in)(15 in)H

Dividing by the coefficient of H, we have ...

... (8100 in³)/(450 in²) = H = 18 in

The chest will be 18 inches tall.

Johnny and Cage are working together to mold figurines for a craft fair. They already have 8 figurines which were left from the

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Initial = 8$

$Increment = 3$ (every hour)

Required

Explain why it is linear

First, we need to determine the equation that represents the scenario

Let x be the number of hours worked and y be the number of figurines at x hours.

The equation is determined as follows:

$y = Initial\ Figurines + Increment * x$

This gives:

$y = 8 + 3 * x$

$y = 8 + 3x$

Reorder

$y = 3x + 8$

A linear equation is of the form

$y = mx + b$

By comparison,

$y = mx + b$ is equivalent to $y = 3x + 8$

Hence, we can conclude that the situation is linear

Find the area of the parallelogram that has a base of 2 1/2 ft and a height of 1 1/4ft

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is $3\frac{1}{8}ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a mixed fractions are composed for a whole number, a numerator and a denominator. For example in the mixed fraction $2\frac{1}{3}$ : 2 is the whole number, 1 is the numerator and 3 is the denominator.

If you want to convert to a improper fraction you need to multiply the whole number by the denominator and add to the numerator. The result will be the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator remains the same.

$2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{(2*3)+1}{3} =\frac{7}{3}$
