(X x 6) = (X x 8) -4

Ps. Make sure yoi dont times the (X x 8) by -4 the -4 is by itself.

I personally found it easier thinking if there is a difference of 4 between 6 x X and 8x X then it must be 2x2 as the difference between 6 and 8 is 2. therefore 4 divided by 2 = 2 and 2 x 2 = 4

Therefore x = 2

Answer:

The inequation 6x ≥ 8x - 4 can be used to find the solution.

The solution is x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In math, 'at least' represents greater or equal than (which is the inequation simbol ≥)

If x represents the number then six times a number is the multiplication of x by 6, and four less than eight times the number can be written as: 8x -4

6x ≥ 8x - 4

Solving the inequation;

Substracting 6x each side:

0 ≥ 8x - 6x -4

Suming 4 each side

4 ≥ 2x

Dividing by 2 each side

2 ≥ x

2 greater or equal than x is the same as:

x ≤ 2

Henry is taking a medicine for a common cold. The table below shows the amount of medicine f(t), in mg, that was present in Henr
Elden [556K]
Geometric sequence general form: a * r^n
For Greg, we are given the elimination of the medicine as a geometric nth term equation:
200 * (0.88)^t
The amount of medicine starts at 200 mg and every hour, decreases by 12%;
To compare the decrease in medicine in the body between the two, it is useful to get them in a common form;
So, using the data provided for Henry, we will also attempt to find a geometric nth term equation that will work if we can:
As a geometric sequence, the first term would be a and the second term would be ar where r = multiplier;
If we divide the second term by the first term, we will therefore get r, which is 0.94 for Henry;
We can check that the data for Henry can be represented as a geometric sequence by using the multiplier (r) to see if we can generate the third value of the data;
We do this like so:
282 * (0.94)^2 = 249.18 (correct to 2 d.p)
We can tell that the data for Henry is also a geometric sequence.
So now, we just look at the multiplier for Henry and we find that every hour, the medicine decreases by 6%, half of the rate of decrease for Greg.

The answer is therefore that <span>Henry's body eliminated the antibiotic at half of the rate at which Greg's body eliminated the antibiotic.</span>

Complete the table by writing the fraction as a decimal and as a percent
aniked [119]

Answer:

Decimal = 0.6

Percentage = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify the fraction.

\frac{120}{200}  =  \frac{60}{100}  = 0.6

Hence the Decimal is 0.6

To express 120/200 in percentage , we have to multiply the fraction with 100.

\frac{120}{200}  \times 100 =  \frac{120}{2}  = 60\%

Hence the percentage value is 60%

A quiz has thirty questions whose answers can only be correct or incorrect.
satela [25.4K]

Using a system of equations, it is found that Gina got 22 questions correct in the test.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable x: Number of questions she got correct.
  • Variable y: Number of questions she got wrong.

The test has 30 questions, hence:

x + y = 30 -> y = 30 - x.

She scored 152 points, hence, considering the value of each question:

8x - 3y = 152.

Since y = 30 - x:

8x - 3(30 - x) = 152

11x = 242

x = 242/11

x = 22

Gina got 22 questions correct in the test.
