Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the solution to an inequality is

$5\leq x$

It means the original inequality is true for any values of x which is greater than or equal to 5 and less than 9.

We need to find the smallest value of x that will make the original inequality true.

$5\leq x\text{ and }x$

Therefore, smallest value of x is 5 that will make the original inequality true.

A test is worth 140 points. Ten percent of those points are from one short-answer question. How many points is the short-answer

Vlada [557]

If the total amount of points in a test is 140, and we want to find 10% of those points, we can do the following to figure out how much points the question is worth...

140 points x 10% = 140 x 0.1 = 14 points for the short-answer quesion.

Anyone know the answer to this algebra problem?

ikadub [295]

Answer: $\bold{a=1\qquad b=\dfrac{1}{16}\qquad c=\dfrac{1}{64}\qquad d=1\qquad e=\dfrac{4}{9}\qquad f=\dfrac{16}{81}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{array}{c|l}\underline{\quad x\quad}&\underline{\quad 4^{-x}\qquad \qquad}\\-1&4^{-(-1)}=4^1=4\\\\0&4^{-(0)}=4^0=1\\\\2&4^{-(2)}=\dfrac{1}{4^2}=\dfrac{1}{16}\\\\4&4^{-(4)}=\dfrac{1}{4^4}=\dfrac{1}{64}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c|l}\underline{\quad \bigg x \quad}&\underline{\quad \bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^x\qquad \qquad}\\\\-1&\bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^{-1}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\0&\bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^{0}=1\\\\2&\bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^{2}=\dfrac{2^2}{3^2}=\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\4&\bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^{4}=\dfrac{2^4}{3^4}=\dfrac{16}{81}\end{array}$

How many solutions does the equation have?

son4ous [18]

The equation would have infinite solutions.
First, distribute on both sides, and you get 12x - 6 = 12x - 6.
There are two ways to do this from here. first is: you add six to both sides and they'll cancel out, and you'll have 12x = 12x. Then you divide by 12 on both sides and get x = x. When the two sides equal the same thing, there are infinite solutions.
Or, we can do the easy way. As you can see, 12x-6 = 12x-6. Both the sides are clearly the same, so we actually don't need to do the rest.
ANSWER: infinite solutions
Hope this helped!!(:
