Answer:

x > -17/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write inequality

-2x - 5 < 12

Step 2: Solve for x

Add 5 to both sides: -2x < 17

Divide both sides by -2: x > -17/2

Here, we can see that any number greater than -17/2 would work, so x could equal 01234718905731857013570 if we wanted it to, as long as it is greater than -8.5.

How do I find the dimensions of three different rectangles with the area of 6 cm^2

myrzilka [38]

The area of a rectangle is (length) times (width).
So you have to find a pair of numbers that multiply to produce 6 .

If you only stick to whole numbers, then I don't think there are three
different ones. You're going to need one pair that multiply to 6 and
are not both whole numbers.

After I explain how to solve problems, I hate to give answers. But with
all due respect, I have a feeling that I haven't nudged you enough yet
for you to use my explanation to find the answers on your own.
So here are some answers:

1 and 6
2 and 3

and sets of dimensions that are not both whole numbers, like

0.6 and 10
1.2 and 5
1.25 and 4.8
1.5 and 4
2.4 and 2.5

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the number of popcorn and drinks is linear relationshipThe responses are;(a) Please find attached the required graph created with MS Excel(b) From the graph, we have that as the number of bags of popcorn Judy buys increases, the number of drinks decreases linearlyReasons:The given parameter are;Amount Judy took with her to spend on popcorn and drinks = $30Price of each bag of popcorn = $5Price of each drink = Half the price of a bag of popcorn∴ The price of each drink = (a) Let X represent the number of bags of popcorn Judy buys and let Y represent the number of drinks she buys, we have;5·X + 2.5·Y = 302.5·Y = 30 - 5·XWhich gives;Y = 12 - 2·XUsing the above equation, the graph of popcorn and drinks bought by Judy is plotted with MS Excel and attached here(b) The data in the graph are presented as followsThe point corresponding to the y-intercept is the point that gives the maximum number of drinks Judy can buy if she does not buy popcorn is 12 drinks. The number of drinks she can buy reduces by 2 for each bag of popcorn she buys, such that she can buy 6 bags of popcorn and no drinks which is the x-intercept.
