This is a simple equation:

x - 7 < 14

x < 14 + 7

x < 21

→ Many people think that because there is not "=" sign they don't flip the sign of what in this case is -7. But actually, the symbols "<" and ">" act as the equal sign. This rule doesn't apply to positive number, only negative.

Hope it helped,

x - 7 < 14

To solve, you must isolate the x. Add 7 to both sides

x - 7 (+7) < 14 (+7)

x < 14 + 7

x < 21

x<21, or (C) is your answer

Note: You only flip the signs if you are multiplying or dividing by a negative number

hope this helps

The equation of the line that contains diagonal HM is y = 2/3 x + 7.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The slope of the line that contains diagonal OE will be = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the equation of the line that contains diagonal HM is y = 2/3 x + 7

y = 2/3 x + 7

comparing the equation with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

Thus, slope = m = 2/3

We know that the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other.

As we have to determine the slope of the line that contains diagonal OE.

As the slope of the line that contains diagonal HM = 2/3

We also know that a line perpendicular to another line contains a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line.

Therefore, the slope of the line that contains diagonal

OE will be = -1/m = -1/(2/3) = -3/2

Hence, the slope of the line that contains diagonal OE will be = -3/2

the length of a rectangle is 2 inches less than twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 74 inches, what is the are

schepotkina [342]

If the width is w and the length is l, then 2w-2=l and 2w+2l=72 (using the perimeter equation). Plugging 2w-2 in for l, we get 2w+(2w-2)*2=72 and 6w-4=72. Adding 4 to both sides, we get 6w=76. After that, we divide both sides by 6 to get 74/6=w. Since l=2w-2=136/6, we get (136/6)(74/6)=656.75=area

A student says that the x-intercept of the graph of × + 2y =5 is the point (0,5). Is the student correct or incorrect? Explain y

ivanzaharov [21]

The student is incorrect, the actual x-intercept is (5, 0).

<h3>Is the student correct or incorrect?</h3>

Here we have the equation:

x + 2y = 5

The student says that the x-intercept is the point (0, 5).

So if you look at the point you already can see that the student is incorrect, this is because the x-intercept always must have a y-value of 0. (the graph only intercepts the x-axis when y = 0).

So the point (0, 5) can't be an x-intercept.

For the given function:

x +2y = 5

The x-intercept is given by:

x + 2*0 = 5

x = 5

So it is (5 , 0).

Complete the equation: x^2+8x + _=(_)^2

pentagon [3]

Answer:

x^2+8x+16=(x-4)^2

EXPLANATION:

(a+b)^2=a2+2.a.b+b2

we have to break the middle term in 2ab here a is x then 2xb=8x, => b=4, but value of a and b to get the required equation!
