Answer:
a = -11, 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
-7 = |a-3| / -2
Multiply both sides by -2:
|a - 3| = 14
So a - 3 = 14
Giving a = 17
or
a - 3 =- -14
giving a = -11.
Checking these values:
-7 = |17-3| / -2 = 14/-2 = -7
- so a = 17 is a solution.
-7 = |-11-3| / -2 = 14/-2 = -7
so a = -11 is also a solution.
Answer:
- x < 2.5
- x > 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to do this is to try a number for x and see if it makes the inequality true. A suitable number here is x=0. This value of x is less than 2.5.
<h3>1.</h3>
For x=0, you have ...
5 > -5 . . . . . true; the solution space is x < 2.5
__
<h3>2.</h3>
For x=0, you have ...
-25 > -5(2.5)
-25 > -12.5 . . . . . false; the solution space is x > 2.5
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
<h3>1.</h3>
Subtract 5:
-4x > -10
Divide by -4
x < 2.5
__
<h3>2.</h3>
Divide by -5:
5 < x +2.5
Subtract 2.5
2.5 < x
x > 2.5
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a 2 in 4 chance for a red shirt
there is a 1 in 2 chance for blue pants
There is (I think) a 1 in 6 chance for the chosen pain to be worn.
Well, first of all, the first statement (ABC = ADC) looks like it just says
that the two halves of the little square ... each side of the diagonal ...
are congruent. That's no big deal, and it's no help in answering the
question.
The effect of the dilation is that all the DIMENSIONS of the square
are doubled ... each side of the square becomes twice as long.
Then, when you multiply (length x width) to get the area, you'd have
Area = (2 x original length) x (2 x original width)
and that's
the same as (2 x 2) x (original length x original width)
= (4) x (original area) .
Here's an easy, useful factoid to memorize:
-- Dilate a line (1 dimension) by 'x' times . . . multiply the length by x¹
-- Dilate a shape (2 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply area by x²
-- Dilate a solid (3 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply volume by x³
And that's all the dimensions we have in our world.
_______________________________
Oh, BTW . . .
-- Dilate a point (0 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply it by x⁰ (1)
