8 less than 2 times a number is greater than the sum of the same number and 9

Mathematics
1 answer:
lyudmila [28]3 years ago
4 0

step-by-step explanation:

every time we see "a number" or "the same number," we can add a variable (we'll use x here).  rewriting the problem, we get: 8 less than 2 times x is gr8er than the sum of  x and 9.  

next, we can work backwards to write an inequality.  we know from the word problem above that the number on the left side of the equation is 8 less than 2x, so we can rewrite that part like this: 2x-8.

for the right side of the equation, all we have to do is simplify "the sum of x and 9" to x + 9.  so now the inequality should look like this: 2x - 8 > x + 9.  

now we'll solve the inequality just like an equation: subtract x from both sides of the inequality, so now we have: x - 8 > 9.

then, we can add 8 to both sides to get the x by itself, and we get the answer: x > 15

hope this helps! <em>:)</em>

State the range of the graph and explain what the graph represents.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The range of the graph is [-10, 10]

Step-by-step explanation:

This represents how the y-values of the graph range from -10 to 10.

Because there are no arrow marks on the ends of the graph, we know that the graph stops there at -10 and 10 and doesn't go beyond that.
