<h3>
Answer: x > 2</h3>
Work Shown:
5x - 14x < - 18
-9x < - 18
x > -18/(-9)
x > 2
The inequality sign flips when dividing both sides by a negative number.
Here's another approach you could take.
5x - 14x < - 18
-9x < -18
0 < -18+9x
18 < 9x
9x > 18
x > 18/9
x > 2
It's a slightly longer pathway, but it avoids a sign flip when you divide both sides by the positive number 9.
The sign flip happens two steps earlier when going from 18 < 9x to 9x > 18. In other words, A < B is the same as B > A.
The train's rate 140 mph. 700 divided by 5 equals 140.
Answer:
1/7 or 14.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
30% of 750 = 225 (females who study chemistry)
60% of 2250 = 1350 (males who study chemistry)
1575 = total students studying chemistry
P (female chemistry student) = 225/1575 = 1/7 (simplified)
1/7 = 14.3%
Circumference is found with the formula
c = pi × d
d is diameter and we will use 3.14 for pi.
The diameter is the measure across the center of the circle. In the first problem, you are given the radius, so we have to multiply by 2 to get the diameter. Then we can use the formula.
12.4 in × 2 = 24.8 in (that's the diameter)
c = pi × D
c = 3.14 × 24.8
c = 77.872 inches
circumference is 77.872 inches.
Try the other problems on your own. They are just like this one. Just make sure they are giving you the diameter and not the radius. Post if you have problems.
