[x] represents floor function also called as Greatest integer function.
Floor function is the function that takes as input a real number and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to.
like [1.5]=1
[0.7]=0
[-0.3]=-1
Now we have to find set of x-values which satisfies equation [x-1]=[x]
Due to -1 in [x-1], it always produces output value one less than value of [x]
for example when x=0.5 then [x]=[0.5]=0, [x-1]=[0.5-1]=[-0.5]=-1
when x=1.5 then [x]=[1.5]=1, [x-1]=[1.5-1]=[0.5]=0
when x=3 then [x]=[3]=3, [x-1]=[3-1]=[2]=2
From above results we can see that there is no value of x which satisfies the given equation [x-1]=[x]
Hence there is NO solution.
Answer:
c = b -d/a
Step-by-step explanation:
a(b-c)=d
Divide each side by a
a(b-c)/a = d/a
b-c = d/a
Subtract b from each side
b-c-b = d/a -b
-c = d/a -b
Multiply each side by -1
c = -d/a+b
c = b -d/a
420÷8=52.5

Step-by-step explanation:
Answers:
-3.5 < 5
|-3.5| < |5|
============================================
Explanation:
Any negative number is <u>always</u> smaller than any positive number. So that's why -3.5 is smaller than 5 and where -3.5 < 5 comes from. It might help to set up a vertical number line. Stuff on top is larger than stuff down below.
---------
The vertical bars represent absolute value. The result of |-3.5| is 3.5 because this is the distance from -3.5 to 0 on the number line. Likewise, |5| = 5.
So that's how we get to |-3.5| < |5| which is effectively saying -3.5 is closer to zero than 5 is to zero.
