2(8 - x) < 4

Instead of testing each individual value of the inequality, let's solve it to determine which value makes it true.

Let's start by dividing both sides by 2.

2(8 - x)/2 < 4/2

8 - x < 2

Subtract both sides by 8

8 - x - 8 < 2 - 8

-x < -6

Multiply/Divide both sides by -1 (either one works)

[NOTE: Remember to reverse the inequality sign when dividing/multiplying by a negative number!]

x > 6

Thus, any x value that's greater than 6 will make the inequality true. That would be answer choice D. Happy studying~

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

If we plug in any negative number as x, the result will always be greater than 4, which rules out answers A and B

lets try plugging in 4 as x to test answer C:

2(8-4)

2(4)= 8

8 is greater than 4, therefore C is wrong.

Lets try 10 as X (answer D):

2(8-10)

2(-2)

-4

We know that -4 is less than 4, therefore it makes the inequality true! :)

Identify the domain of the graph given. *Don't forget the parenthesis or brackets*​
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

(-4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is all of its possible x-values.  In this graph, there is a y-value for every x-value between -4 and 3 except -4 and 3, because there are open dots at those points.  Therefore, the domain is (-4,3).  Use parenthesis because the function is not defined at x=-4 or x=3.

The first pentagon is dilated to form the second pentagon. Drag and drop the answer to correctly complete the statement.
Hitman42 [59]
If the bigger pentagon has side length of 5 units and the smaller pentagon has side length of 1 unit, you can know that the dilation was 1/5 = 0.2

This means that the sides of the big pentagon were multiplied by 0.2 to obtain the smaller pentagon.
