Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

It works well to think about what these compound inequalities mean. One way to do that is to graph them, or to imagine what the graph of them looks like.

Since the result is a single inequality (x < 2), the compound will be "and" with x < 2 being more restrictive, or will be "or" with x < 2 being the least restrictive of completely overlapping inequalities.

Of the choices offered, C is the one of interest.

_____

<em>Comment on other choices</em>

A has all real numbers as solutions except in the range 2 ≤ x ≤ 3.

B has no solutions

C simplifies to x < 2 . . . . the one we want

D simplifies to x < 4

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

(1)The value of x is -9 .

Option (B) is correct .

(2)The value of x is 13 .

Option (A) is correct .

(3)The value of the x is 11 .

Option (D) is correct .

(4) The value of the x is -15 .

Option (A) is correct .

(5)The value of the x is -11 .

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

First Part

As given

4x = -36

$x = \frac{-36}{4}$

x = -9

Therefore the value of x is -9 .

Option (B) is correct .

Second Part

As given

5x - 15 = 50

5x = 50 + 15gg

5x = 65

$x = \frac{65}{5}$

x = 13

Therefore the value of x is 13 .

Option (A) is correct .

As given

4(x+2)-17=35

4x + 8 - 17 = 35

4x = 35 + 17 - 8

4x = 44

$x = \frac{44}{4}$

x = 11

Therefore the value of the x is 11 .

Option (D) is correct .

Fourth Part

As given

6x+12=4x-18

6x-4x = -12-18

2x = -30

$x = \frac{-30}{2}$

x = -15

Therefore the value of the x is -15 .

Option (A) is correct .

Fifth Part

As given

$\frac{1}{2}(4x-10)+5=x-11$

Simplify the above

4x-10+5×2 = 2x-22

4x-10+10= 2x-22

4x-2x = -22

2x=-22

$x = \frac{-22}{2}$

x = -11

Therefore the value of the x is -11 .

Option (C) is correct .

The time it takes for an object stopped from a certain speed can be modeled by the equation

yanalaym [24]

Given:
t = 1/2 √v
v = speed of object meters per second

t = 3 seconds

3 = 1/2 √v
3 * 2 = √v
6 = √v
6² = √v²
36 meters = v

v = 36 meters per second
