2x - 8 < 7
Add 8 to both sides
2x<15
Divide 2 on both sides
Final Answer: x<15/2 or 7 1/2 *Both answers are equivalent to each other.

One solution was found : x < 15/2

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

 2*x-8-(7)<0

Divide both sides by 2 

 x-(15/2) < 0

Solve Basic Inequality : 1.2 Add 15/2 to both sides

Inequality plot for

2.000 x - 15.000 < 0 x < 15/2
One solution was found : x < 15/2

A person breathes 2.5 x 10^-4 in about cubic meters of air per second. How long does it take to breathe in 2.5 cubic meters of a

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

10⁴ seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A person breathes $2.5\times 10^{-4}$ in about cubic meters of air per second.

We need to find time taken to breathe 2.5 cubic meters of air.

In 1 sec = $2.5\times 10^{-4}$ m³ of air breathe

Let in x seconds, 2.5 m³ of air taken by the person.

$x=\dfrac{2.5}{2.5\times 10^{-4}}\\\\x=10^4\ s$

Hence, in 10⁴ seconds 2.5 m³ of air is taken by the person.

The scale model of a skyscraper being built is 4.2 feet tall.

BigorU [14]

A. Convert 4.2 feet to meters. 4.2 feet = 1.28016 meters. The Formula of Scale = Big / Small
Scale = 525 meters / 1.28016 meters
Scale = 410.1050 meters

b. Convert 4.2 feet to inches. 4.2 feet = 50.4 inches.
To get the number of plywood, divide 50.4 inches by 0.6 inch. The answer is 84. So there are 84 plywood sheets.

Use the law of cosines to find the length of a

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't need the Law of Cosines, the Law of sines if what you need. You can't use the Law of Cosines because in order to find side a, you would need the length of side c and you don't have it. Using the Law of Sines is appropriate, knowing that angle B = 55:

$\frac{sin55}{175}=\frac{sin42}{a}$ and solving for a:
