Answer: X < -3


Step-by-step explanation:

-15x - 3 > 42

-15x - 3 + 3 > 42 + 3

-15x > 45

-15x/-15 > 45/-15

Since we are dividing by a negative, we flip the >

x < -3

So, let's check

-4 < -3

-15*-4 - 3 > 42

60 - 3 > 42

57 > 42

Now, let's see if -3 will work.

-15*-3 - 3 > 42

45 - 3 > 42

42 > 42 (False)

Okay, now let's try 4

-15*4 - 3 > 42

-60 - 3 > 42

-63 > 42

This is false, so it is x < -3

The correct answer is x < -3

Explanation:

To solve our equation we first need to set out our equation, -15x – 3 > 42. Next, we add 3 to both sides of our equation, -15x - 3 + 3 > 42 + 3 = -15x > 45. Then, we multiply both sides by -1(Or in other words, reverse the inequality), -15x * -1 > 45 * -1 = 15x < -45. And then, we divide both sides by 15, 15x/15 < -45/15 = x < -3. Finally, we have our answer of x < -3.

Hope This Helps!!!

Find the slope in (-2,8) and (1,6)
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Formula for slope: \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

y₂: 6

y₁: 8

x₂: 1

x₁: -2

Plug them into the slope equation:

\frac{6 - 8}{1 - (-2)}

--> \frac{-2}{1 + 2}

---> -\frac{2}{3}

The slope is -\frac{2}{3}.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 26 cm and one of its sides has length of 5 cm
otez555 [7]

Answer:5 by 8 by 5 by 8

Step-by-step explanation: the perimeter is 26 and one side if 5 so you know that another side is also 5. So add 5 and 5 together you get 10. Then subtract 10 from the perimeter(witch we know is 26) and you end up with 16. we know that the last two side lengths are the same so divide 16 by two and the sidle length is 8.
