Answer:
larry is incorrect because the number 2 is not a composite number, although numbers 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82, and 92 are composite, 2 isn't
Answer:
x > -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Inequalities like these are solved the same way equations are solved, except when multiplying both sides you flip the less than/greater than sign:
3x + 7 > -x -9
3x + 7 - 7 > -x -9 -7 Subtract 7 from both sides
3x > -x -16
3x + x > -x -16 + x add x to both sides
4x > -16
>
divide both sides by 4
x > -4
In this case the inequality sign did not have to be flipped since we never multiply both sides by a negative number.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
3x + 2 = 4x + 5
1. The smaller coefficient of x is 3
to remove the smaller coefficient
we need to add - 3x to both sides
3x +2 + (-3x) = 4x +5 (-3x)
3x + 2 - 3x = 4x + 5 - 3x
Collecting like terms we have
3x-3x+2= 4x-3x+5
2 = x+ 5
2. The constant on the right side is
5,to remove the constant from the right side of the equation we need to add - 5 to both sides
3x + 2+ (- 5) = 4x + 5 +(-5)
3x+ 2-5 =4x +5-5
3x-3 = 4x
I think the answer is three
