1. First step: To get a term of x by itself, add 5 to both sides
Second step: This will become 3x<24
Third step: To separate 3x, divide everything by 3: 3x÷3 < 24÷3
Step four: x < 8
2. First subtract both sides by 12: - 2x + 12 - 12 < - 4 - 12
Second: This becomes - 2x < -16
Third: Divide by -2 to get x by itself - 2x ÷ - 2 > -16 ÷ - 2 Note: If you divide by a negative number, the inequality sign switches. This is a really important step that most students forget.
Fourth: x>8
Note: Try plugging in values when you are done if you are uncertain you have the right answer.
Answer:
8 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
8 * 6 = 48
8 + 6 = 14
answer:
y = 2x - 5
work:
to write equations, we use the format y = mx + b.
m stands for the slope, and b stands for the y intercept.
this means that you should be able to enter the values for y and x and get a valid equation as a result.
in this equation, we are not given a y intercept value, but we do have a slope and x and y values, so we have to solve by substituting.
so, let's substitute in the values of y and x and the slope,
and solve for b, the y intercept.
1 = 2(3) + b (multiply 2 x 3)
1 = 6 + b (subtract 6 from both sides)
- 5 = b
b has a value of -5. let's place this into the equation.
y = 2x - 5.
the slope is 2, and the y intercept is -5, let's plug in our y and x values to verify that this is true.
1 = 2(3) - 5
1 = 6 - 5
1 = 1
so, this equation is correct. hope this helps and have a great day!
