Answer:

x > -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the inequality using the distributive property (multiply the term outside the bracket with each number inside the bracket). Then, isolate 'x' by performing the reverse operations for every number that's on the same side as 'x'. (Reverse operations 'cancel out' a number.)

18 < -3(4x - 2)           Expand this to simplify

18 < (-3)(4x) - (-3)(2)             Multiply -3 with 4x and -2

18 < -12x + 6               Start isolating 'x'

18 - 6 < -12x + 6 - 6                 Subtract 6 from both sides

18 - 6 < -12x                  '+ 6' is cancelled out on the right side

12 < -12x                    Subtracted 6 from 18 on the left side

12/-12 < -12x/-12                    Divide both sides by -12

12/-12 < x                    'x' is isolated. Simplify left side

-1 < x                    Answer

x > -1             Standard formatting puts variable on the left side

Your parents purchase a computer for $1,257.00 plus 6% sales tax. They decide to finance it through the store’s 0% program for 6
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$111.59

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of the purchase was the cost of the computer plus the sales tax:

$1,257*1,06= $1,332.42

Now, to determine the interest that they will have to pay, you have to consider that the interest rate is 16,75% APR that is the annual percentage rate but as only 6 month have passed, the interest rate at this point that they have to pay is 8.375%:

$1,332.42*8.375%= $111.59

The interest that they will be charged is  $111.59

Which graph represents the solution to the given system? <br> y = -2x + 5 and y = 3x - 2
sasho [114]
To find the X value of the solution, you would set the two equations equal to each other bu substitution:
if <span>y = -2x + 5 and y = 3x - 2, 
</span>-2x + 5 must be equal to 3x - 2
solve for x... you should get 7/5

then, plug that into one of the original equations as X and you would get the Y value, 11/5

This point, (7/5,11/5) is where the two lines cross

Two concentric circles with different radii share how many common tangent lines?
Dominik [7]
The answer is a.0

Concentric means these circles would have the same center, thus, the smaller circle must be inside the bigger circle. Any tangent line to the smaller circle wont be a tangent line to the bigger circle, since that tangent line would intersect at the bigger circle at 2 points. Any tangent line to the big circle will not touch the small circle... so the answer would be 0.
