If Heather can do 2 in 10 minutes, then that means that she can do 12 in 1 hour. If Joel can do 3 in 15 minutes, then it means that he can do 12 in 1 hour. Add the number of problems they can do total and that will go between 30 and 50. It is just "less than", not "less than or equal to" because you want to know when the total number goes between the numbers.
Therefore, the correct answer must be <span>30 < 24x + 5 < 50.</span>
I did the problem and I got negative 4 over 9
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The first answer is correct because we have a decay factor.
The sample is losing mass, so the number that is being multiplied by a power of x must be less than 1.
If the second answer were used, then the sample would be gaining mass.
Answer:
7y + 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of the negative sign to the left of the parentheses as being -1. Then apply the distributive property. The effect of a negative sign to the left of parentheses or a 1 to the left of parentheses is that each term inside the parentheses changes sign.
-(-7y - 24) = -1(-7y - 24) = (-1)(-7y) - (-1)(24) = 7y - (-24) = 7y + 24
Answer:

<u>(1/216)</u> is the right answer.
