Answer:

"A number decreased by 4 is less than 14" written as an inequality is x - 4 < 14

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Figure out what a number decreased by 4 is.

Well, a number decreased by 4, how would that look like? To find out, we should look for some key words in the term. So, I will bold out the keywords in the term this time:

A number decreased by 4

That word 'decreased' gives us a hint. Out of the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), 'decreased' fits into the subtraction category best. So we can replace 'decreased' with a minus sign. Since we don't know the specific value of 'A number', we will assign it a variable, the variable x. 4 is just 4 so we can leave that number alone. So the first term would look like this:

A number decreased by 4 = x - 4

Second: Since we know what the first term is, we need to find out what the second term is and the inequality sign.

This step is quite easy. Let's tackle the inequality sign first:

A number decreased by 4 is less than 14

The only words that would describe an inequality sign are the words: 'less than'. The less than sign looks like this: <

Fourteen [just like four] is just a number so we don't need to change that

So our final product is this: x - 4 < 14

Thank you for reading.

Answer:

0 ≤ x ≤ 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is defined by all values in the y-axe that are represented in the graph. In this case, we see the graph goes from 0 to 70, that will be the range.

PD. The representation is a non function.

Joe paid 14.00 for a board game this is 70% off the original price what is the original price?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Joe paid 14.00 for a board game this is 70% of the original price what is the original price.

Let the original price of board game be x.

x\times \frac{70}{100}=14

x\times \frac{7}{10}=14

Multiply both sides by 10.

7x=140

Divide both sides by 7.

x=20

The original price is 20. Therefore the correct option is B.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

1) 13 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 13+8=21 which is greater than 15. Would be a triangle.

2) 7+8=15   This would be a single line, not a triangle.

3) 3+8<15   This would be a single line, not a triangle.

2) 15+8=23   This would be a single line, not a triangle.
