Step-by-step explanation:
3x - x = 2x
2(x + 2) = 2x + 2
for every number of x, 2x + 2 would always be larger than 2x.
so there is no solution, since the given equation is 2x is greater than 2x + 2.
1a. It does say y is "less than 8", which means 7, 6, 5, 4, etc. So it should be y < 8, with the arrow going from 8 to the the left.
Everything else in 1 is correct.
For 2, you're just picking out which of the given numbers satisfy the inequality, for example
a. 14, 15, 16 are solutions. 13 is not because it is less than 14.
3. Same thing as 1
Answer:
$130.7086
Step-by-step explanation:
List price of phone answering system = $99.86
Handset cord = $8.95
Telephone wire = 45 cent/foot ; length = 50 feet
Rebate on phone system = $5
Store coupon =$1 of each accessory
Sales tax = 6% on final price
Price before coupon = (99.86 + 8.95 + (50*0.45)) =$131. 31
Number of accessories = 3
Total coupon = $5 + ($1 * 3) = $8
Price after coupon = final price : $131.31 - $8 = $123.31
Sales tax = 0.06 * $123.31 = $7.3986
Amount paid = $123.31 + $7.3986 = $130.7086
3x-4y+2z=20
x+y-z=-4
6x-y+2z=23
x=2
y=-1
z=5
