Okay, here we have this:
Considering the provided expression, we are going to analize which exponential expression is equivalent, so we obtain the following:
As the property of the exponent of a multiplication says that it is equal to the product of each number raised to that power. We have this:
Finally we obtain that the correct answer is the option D.
Anything below 2 would fit into the inequality
To figure out the average of Michael and Melissa we must add up all their test scores and divide the by 7; which is the number of tests they took.
Michael:
(80+76+73+70+40+25+10)/7
Melissa:
(88+83+75+70+60+65+62)/7
Michael's average is 53.4
Melissa's average is 71.9
So Melissa is earning a C in Latin.
To find equivalent inequalities you have to work the inequality given.
The first step is transpose on of sides to have an expression in one side and zero in the other side:
x - 6 x + 7
--------- ≥ --------
x + 5 x + 3
=>
x - 6 x + 7
--------- - -------- ≥ 0
x + 5 x + 3
=>
(x - 6) (x + 3) - (x + 7) (x + 5)
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
=>
x^2 - 3x - 18 - x^2 - 12x - 35
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
15x + 53
- ------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
That is an equivalent inequality. Sure you can arrange it to find many other equivalent inequalities. That is why you should include the list of choices. Anyway from this point it should be pretty straigth to arrange the terms until making the equivalent as per the options.
Because segments XY and XZ are of equal length, angle Y and angle Z must be congruent.
All inner angles must add to 180 degrees since it's a triangle.
70+70+x=180
140+x=180
x=40
Final answer: D
