1) Transform the inequality into equation by replacing "<" or ">" with "=":
-2x - 4 > 8
-2x - 4 = 8
2) Simply solve for x:
-2x - 4 = 8
-2x = 8 + 4
-2x = 12
x = -6
3) Now do the following exactly the same: first, look into the symbol that you have replaced (">" or "<"). Put the same symbol into your answer "x = -6":
x > -6
4) Now, look which symbol was in front of "x" in the original inequality (-2x - 4 = 8). If it is "+" (for example, 4x, 0.01x) leave "x > -6". If it is "-" (for example, -3x, -0.04x) change ">" into "<" or change "<" into ">" (put the opposite symbol).
5) You have -2x in the original inequality - then, in "x > -6" change the symbol into "<". So, your answer will be
x < -6 or the option 1.
Hope this helps!

Which of the following equations has the given solution set? Solution set: Ø -2m + 5 = 2m + 5 -2m + 5 = -2m + 5 -2m + 5 = -2m -
Alex787 [66]
If I understand ur question, u r looking for a solution set with no solutions.
- 2m + 5 = - 2m - 5
-2m + 2m = -5 - 5
0 = -10 (incorrect...no solution)

u want the answer to be unequal with no variables. U do not want the answers to be equal, such as 0 = 0 or 10 = 10...because that would indicate infinite solutions. And u do not want the answer to contain a variable, because that would indicate 1 solution.

Can transformations always be applied to shapes, even if they're not in a plane?
Tatiana [17]

A translation is a transformation of the plane in which a a plane figure slides along a straight line, and changes its position without turning. Each point moves the same distance and in the same direction. Hence all points subjected to the same translation undergo the same displacement.

An endpoint of a line segment is (4,5) and the midpoint of the line segment is (3, -2). Find the other endpoint.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

(-8,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation for midpoints we can find:

\frac{(5+y)}{2} =3,  \frac{(4+x)}{2} =-2

y+5=6,      4+x=-4

y=1, x=-8

sry it's backwards

(-8,1)

Hope this helps!

A hotel offers a reward program based on the number of night stayed. The function f(x) represents the number of free nights earn
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

a. A customer earns 1 free night per 10 nights stayed.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing function is:

f(x) = x/10  

The missing options are:

<em> a. A customer earns 1 free night per 10 nights stayed.  </em>

<em> b. A customer starts with 1 free night and then earns another free night after every 10 nights stayed. </em>

<em> c.A customer earns x – 10 free nights for every 10 nights stayed.  </em>

<em> d. A customer earns 10 free nights after x number of nights stayed. </em>

The function means that after a customer stayed 10 nights, a free night is earned. That is, replacing x = 10 into the function, we get:

f(10) = 10/10  = 1

which means 10 nights are equivalent to 1 free night.

Suppose a line parallel to side BC of ABC intersects sides AB and AC at points X and Y, respectively. Find the length of AC if A
elena-s [515]

Answer: AC=3.5

Solve proportionally:3 over 4 equals 1.5 over x.

3x= 6

6/3=2

X=2

2+1.5=3.5
