-2x + 5 < 7

-2x + 5 < 7
<u>        -5     -5   </u>       deduct 5 from both sides
-2x       < 2
<u>÷ -2        ÷ -2  </u>       divide both sides by negative 2. Because of the division 
 x          > -1          using a negative number, the sign is then reversed.
                             from < it becomes >.

The value of x should be greater than -1. It can be 0, 1, 2, so on... 

To check: Revert back to the original sign which is <.

x = 1
-
2x + 5 < 7
-2(1) + 5 < 7
-2 + 5 < 7
3 < 7

Simplify the expression using long division. (10x2 – 85x – 10) ÷ (x – 8) Question 7 options: quotient 10x – 5 and remainder –50
Anna [14]

Answer:

The quotient is (10x - 5) and the reminder is -50 ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets solve the long division by easiest way

∵ (10x² - 85x - 10)/(x - 8)

∵ (10x² - 85x - 10) is the dividend

∵ (x - 8) is the divisor

- Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor

∴ 10x² ÷ x = 10x ⇒ first term of the quotient

- Multiply 10x by the the divisor

∴ 10x(x - 8) = 10x² - 80x

- Subtract the answer from the dividend

∴ (10x² - 85x - 10) - (10x² - 80x) =

# 10x² - 10x² = 0

# -85x - -80x = -85x + 80x = -5x

# -10

∴ (10x² - 85x - 10)/(x - 8) = 10x + (-5x - 10)/(x - 8)

* Repeat the same steps again with the new dividend -5x - 10

- Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor

∴ -5x ÷ x = -5 ⇒ second term of the quotient

- Multiply -5 by the divisor

∴ -5(x - 8) = -5x + 40

- Subtract the answer from the dividend

∴ (-5x - 10) - (-5x + 40) =

# -5x - -5x = -5x + 5x = 0

# -10 - 40 = -50

∴ (-5x - 10)/(x - 8) = -5 + -50/(x - 8)

∴ (10x² - 85x - 10)/(x - 8) = 10x - 5 + -50/(x - 8)

- The quotient is the answer of the division

∴ The quotient is (10x - 5) and the reminder is -50

What are whole number dimensions?
Sphinxa [80]
When you get to the point where the width is larger than the length, you can stop because you have exhausted all the possibilities. The greatest area will be the rectangle that is closer in to a square than any of the others.
