Answer:

x > -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequalities like these are solved the same way equations are solved, except when multiplying both sides you flip the less than/greater than sign:

3x + 7 > -x -9

3x + 7 - 7 > -x -9 -7     Subtract 7 from both sides

3x > -x -16

3x + x > -x -16 + x     add x to both sides

4x > -16

\frac{4x}{4} > \frac{-16}{4}     divide both sides by 4

x > -4

In this case the inequality sign did not have to be flipped since we never multiply both sides by a negative number.

What is the domain and range of this graph
kupik [55]

Answer:

The domain of a function f(x) is the set of all values for which the function is defined, and the range of the function is the set of all values that f takes. (In grammar school, you probably called the domain the replacement set and the range the solution set. further the domain refers to the set of possible input values, the domain of a graph consists of all the input values shown on the x-axis. The range is the set of possible output values, which are shown on the y-axis.

I hope it will help =)

A wood stove burns 4 same sized logs in 2 hours how many logs does the stove burn in 8 hours
insens350 [35]
By using the information you have, you can use make a proportion to solve this. You burn 4 logs in 2 hours or 4/2. You are comparing this to your unknown number, x, over 8 hours. So it looks like this 4/2 = x/8. You read it as four logs in two hours is x logs in eight hours. To solve you cross multiply. You do 2 times x and 4 times eight. That would be 2x= 32. Your goal is getting x alone, so divide each side by 2. Your answer is x= 16 logs in eight hours. You can solve this different and maybe easier ways but this is the best way if you want to get used to going this in algebra. Hope that helps! :)

From 2006 to 2010, the population of a town declined to 22,000. The population is expected to continue to decline at a rate of 2
Sphinxa [80]

The population in 2040 of the town can be solved using the formula

F = P( 1 -I)^n

Where F is the future population

P is the present population

I is the decline rate

N is the number of years

F = 22,000(1-0.028)^39

<span>F = 7268</span>
