Answer:
Part A) x = -3
Part B) x = 1, x = -7
Part C) x < -7
Part D) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Part A)</h3>
2(x - 3) = 3x - 3
<em>open the parenthesis</em>
2 * x - 2 * 3 = 3x - 3
2x - 6 = 3x - 3
<em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>
2x - 2x - 6 = 3x - 2x - 3
-6 = x - 3
<em>add 3 to both sides</em>
-6 + 3 = x
-3 = x
<h3>
Part B)</h3>
|2x + 6| = 8
<em>split this into two equations:</em>
<em>2x + 6 = 8</em>
<em>&</em>
<em>2x + 6 = -8</em>
2x + 6 = 8
2x = 8-6
2x = 2
x = 1
2x + 6 = -8
2x = -8 - 6
2x = -14
x = -7
<h3>Part C)</h3>
-5(x + 1) > 30
<em>open the parenthesis</em>
-5x - 5 > 30
<em>add 5 to both sides</em>
-5x > 35
<em>divide both sides by -5</em>
x > -7
<em>since you divided by a negative, flip the sign.</em>
x < -7
<h3>
Part D)</h3>
f(x) = 4x - 3
<em>substitute x for 5</em>
5 = 4x - 3
5 + 3 = 4x
8 = 4x
2 = x
Answer:
D. (0.6, 1.3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between y-values is smallest for x=0.6. The approximate y-value is reasonably chosen as the average of the y-values for that value of x.
(x, y) = (0.6, 1.3) is a reasonable approximation

Answer: (c) 31 (d) 30 (e) 41 (f) 10
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
NOTES about angles of a rhombus:
- diagonals are angle bisectors (cut the angle into 2 equal parts)
- diagonals are perpendicular to each other (90°)
- two adjacent triangles of a rhombus form an isosceles triangle
(c) Given: ∠CBD = 59°
Per rule 2 → ∠BEC = 90°
Triangle Sum Theorem: sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°
∠CBD + ∠BEC + ∠BCE = 180°
59° + 90° + ∠BCE = 180°
149° + ∠BCE = 180°
∠BCE = 31°
(d) Given: ∠BCD = 120°
Per rule 3 → ∠CBD = ∠CDB
Triangle Sum Theorem: sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°
∠CBD + ∠CDB + ∠BCD = 180°
2∠CBD + 120° = 180°
2∠CBD = 60°
∠CBD = 30°
(e) Given: ∠AED = 2x+8
Per rule 2 → ∠AED = 90°
2x+8 = 90
2x = 82
x = 41
(f) Given: ∠BCE = 3x + 3 and ∠ECD = 5x - 17
Per rule 1 → ∠BCE = ∠ECD
3x + 3 = 5x- 17
3 = 2x - 17
20 = 2x
10 = x
5 pairs of gloves, two gloves per pair, so we have 10 gloves.
If the entire pack cost $29.45, we divide that by 10 to determine the cost of a single glove:
$29.45 ÷ 10 = $2.945 which rounds to $2.95 per glove.
