You said -x + 8 > 6
Subtract 8 from each side: -x > -2
Add 'x' to each side: 0 > -2 + x
Add 2 to each side: 2 > x
Now, test the choices:
A). Can 'x' be 4 ?
No. 2 is not greater than 4 .
B). Can 'x' be 1 ?
Yes. 2 is greater than 1 .
C). Can 'x' be 2 ?
No. 2 is not greater than 2 .
D). Can 'x' be 15 ?
No. 2 is not greater than 15 .
Answer:
As many as 7 apples or as few as 4 apples could be green.
Step-by-step explanation:
Laura picks 7 apples.Some apples are red and some are green. Fewer than 4 of the apples are red. How many of laura's apples could be green?
x = total number of red apples
y = total number of green apples
Fewer than 4 of the apples are red.
x<4
That means that 3 or less of the apples are red
So, 7 - 3 = 4
That means that 4 or more apples are green.
7≥y≥4
That means that as many as 7 apples or as few as 4 apples could be green.
The answer would be 1,288.
23x56=1,288
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Two less than three times a number is 28
Let's break it up.
2 less than: -2
3 times a number: 3x (x is representing a number")
is 28: = 28
So, let's put that together.
Two less than three times a number is 28
3x - 2 = 28
Now, let's solve this.
First, let's isolate the x.
To do this, we must add 2 to each side.
3x - 2 = 28
+2 +2
3x - 2 + 2 = 3x
28 + 2 = 30
We have 3x = 30
Now, we must simplify.
To do this, we must divide each side by 3.
This, in term, will tell us what x equals.
3x = 30
--- ----
3 3
3x/3 = x
30/3 = 10
x = 10
Two numbers that add up to 2 and multiply to -35
-5 and 7
Rewrite the expression using the above;
<u>(x - 5)(x + 7)</u>
