Answer:

C: I and III only.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers x and y such that:

-y

And we want to determine which of the following conditions must be true.

First, let's examine the third condition. We have:

y>0

To see if this is true, let's try a negative value for y. So, let's use -7. This will give:

-(-7)

Simplify:

7

This is saying we need a number less than -7 and greater than 7.

This is impossible. So, y <em>must be</em> greater than 0.

Therefore, Condition III must be true.

Next, let's see this compound inequality visually.

Picture the following number-line:

<----------(-y)----------0----------y---------->

Whatever y is, -y is just y on the negative side.

Now, since our condition is that -y<x<y, this means that our x can be anywhere between -y and y. Namely:

<----------(-y)----------0----------y---------->

To determine our correct condition, let's picture x anywhere on the bolded lines. I'm just going to put x here...

<----------(-y)-------(x)--0----------y---------->

Now, remember the alternative definition for absolute value. Namely, the absolute value of x is also the <em>distance</em> from 0 to x. And this distance is always positive.

Since our x is between -y and y, our distance from 0 to x will always be less than the distance from 0 to either y.

Therefore, Condition I is also true.

Let's try an example. Let's let y = 9. So, -y=-9. And let's let x be between 9 and -9, say, -2. So:

<---(-9)-----(-2)--0--------(9)------>

We can see that:

|-2|=2\stackrel{\checkmark}{

Also, this example counters Condition II, as our x can indeed be negative if we desire it.

Algebraically, if we have a negative x such that:  

-y

We can divide everything by -1 to obtain:

y>x>-y

We can flip this to get:

-y

Which is our original inequality. So, Condition II does not need to be true.

So, the two conditions that <em>must</em> be true is I and III.

So, our answer is C.

Please help me solve this problem
Stells [14]

Answer:

$180

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we can set up a proportion and solve.

You earn $45 for 7.5 hours of work, and you earn $ x for 30 hours of work

45/7.5=x/30

Cross multiply

45*30=7.5*x

1350=7.5x

To solve for x, we need to get x by itself. It is being multiplied by 7.5. To undo this, divide both sides by 7.5

1350/7.5=7.5x/7.5

180=x

So, for 30 hours of work, you would earn $180
