Solve the inequality.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

$\huge x > \frac{7}{3} \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8( \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{4} ) > 12 - 2x \\$

<u>Expand the terms in the bracket</u>

That's

$8( \frac{1}{2} x) - 8( \frac{1}{4} ) > 12 - 2x \\ 4x - 2 > 12 - 2x$

Move -2x to the other side of the inequality

$4x + 2x - 2 > 12 \\ 6x - 2 > 12$

<u>Move - 2 to the other side of the inequality</u>

$6x > 12 + 2 \\ 6x > 14$

Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6x}{6} > \frac{14}{6} \\$

We have the final answer as

$x > \frac{7}{3} \\$

Hope this helps you

Total number of students= 1900

Percentage of those that play sport and are in band = 2%

Hence those that play sport and are in band = 2/100 x 1900 = 38 students

Probability that a randomly selected student plays sport and is in band = 38/1900 = 1/50

If k space plus space 9 over 2 equals 3 over 2, what is the value of k?

ankoles [38]

k = - 3

given k + $\frac{9}{2}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

subtract $\frac{9}{2}$ from both sides of the equation

k = $\frac{3}{2}$ - $\frac{9}{2}$ = - $\frac{6}{2}$ = - 3
