x < -23/2
Step-by-step explanation:
you open the bracket first
LHS
3-(2x - 5)
-6x+15
RHS
-4(x+2)
=-4x-8
therefore:
-6x+15 < -4x-8
By collecting the like terms
-6x+4x < -8-15
=-2x<-23
Divide both side by -2x
-2x/-2 < -23/-2
x < -23/2
Answer:
y=-1/2x+24
Step-by-step explanation:
you solve for y by isolating the y on one side of the equation and the rest of the equation on the opposite side of the equal sign.
1/2x-1/2x+y=24-1/2x
y=24-1/2x
rewritten: y=-1/2x+24
Answer:
71.70
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Two consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2. If you let the smaller one of them be x, the other one is x + 2.
Their sum is -36, so add x and x + 2, and set equal to -36. Then solve for x to find the smaller one. Finally, 2 more than x is the greater of the two integers.
x + x + 2 = -36
2x + 2 = -36
2x = -38
x = -19
The smaller one of the two integers is -19.
x + 2 = -19 + 2 = -17
The greater of the two integers is -17.
Answer: The integers are -19 and -17.
