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

Anyone who can answer this for me ill give 35 pts​
Andru [333]

Answer:

x^3+3x^2+4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so what helps me solve this kind of problem is to circle, underline, or box the like terms(the ones with the same exponent and variable). Be sure to note the sign of each term when combining like terms. take it one step at  a time, and work downwards starting with the highest exponent. You have -x^3 and +2x^3, which is x^3. Next, you have +2x^2 and +x^2, which is 3x^2. You should write down each of these as you go, so you should now have x^3+3x^2. Then combine the terms with no exponent but with x, which is 5x and -1x, which is +4x. You should have x^3+3x^2+4x now. Lastly, just combine the numbers 1, -1, and 5, which is 5. This gives you an answer of x^3+3x^2+4x+5.

Inga [223]

Answer:

y = -3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = -3

y = mx + b

7 = -3(-2) + b

7 = 6 + b

1 = b

y = -3x + 1

Answer:

htp(

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A If the polygon is above the line, the rotation angle is 180+a.

If the polygon is below the line, the rotation is a.

Part B Rotations may be clockwise or counterclockwise. When working in the coordinate plane: assume the center of rotation to be the origin unless told otherwise. assume a positive angle of rotation turns the figure counterclockwise, and a negative angle turns the figure
