-(x + 1) - 5 > 10
-x - 1 - 5 > 10
- x - 6 > 10
Add 6 to the both sides,
-x - 6 + 6 > 10 + 6
-x > 16
x < -16 [ changed sign 'cause changed -sign ]

In short, Your Answer would be x < -16

Hope this helps!

Is parallelogram a rectangle

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Sometimes, but not always.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides, but there are no requirements for its interior angles. A rectangle, on the other hand, must have four interior 90 degree angles. So a rectangle is always a parallelogram, but a parallelogram is not always a rectangle.

A jeweler wants to make 14 grams of an alloy that is precisely 75% gold.. The jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, &a

Goryan [66]

Given that the jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, and 82% gold.

As he wants to make 14 grams of an alloy by adding two different alloys that is precisely 75% gold, so one alloy must have a percentage of gold more than 75%.

One alloy is 82% gold and, the second can be chosen between 25% gold, 50% gold, so there are two cases.

Case 1: 82% gold + 50% gold

Let x grams of 82% gold and y grams of 50% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so

75% of 14 = 82% of x + 50% of y

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 50/100 \times y \\\\$

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 50/100 \times (14-x)$ [as x+y=14]

$\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 50 \times (14-x) \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 50 \times14-50\times x \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 32 \times x + 50 \times14 \\\\\Rightarrow 32 \times x =75 \times 14 - 50 \times14 \\\\$

$\Rightarrow x =(25 \times 14)/32=10.9375$ grams

and $y = 14-x= 14-10.9375=3.0625$ grams.

Hence, 10.9375 grams of 82% gold and 3.0625 grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.

Case 2: 82% gold + 25% gold

Let x grams of 82% gold and y grams of 25% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so

75% of 14 = 82% of x + 25% of y

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 25/100 \times y \\\\\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 25/100 \times (14-x) \\\\ \Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 25 \times (14-x) \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 25 \times14-25\times x \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 57 \times x + 25 \times14 \\\\\Rightarrow 57 \times x =75 \times 14 - 25 \times14 \\\\$

$\Rightarrow x =(50 \times 14)/57=12.28$ grams

and $y = 14-x= 14-12.28=1.72$ grams.

Hence, 12.28 grams of 82% gold and 1.72 grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.
