<h3>Answer: 2 < x < 7</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

We'll use the hinge theorem here. This says (more or less) that the larger an angle is, the side opposite of that will be longer.

Imagine that the segments with the single tickmarks represent a door swinging open/shut. The more open a door is, the further the distance it is from the handle to the frame. In terms of these triangles, the segment 25 is larger than 5x-10 because the angle 90 (opposite the 25) is larger than the angle 85 degrees (opposite the 5x-10)

In symbols we say

5x - 10 < 25

We also say 5x - 10 > 0 or 0 < 5x - 10 to ensure that the segment of length 5x-10 is not 0 or negative.

Put the two inequalities together and we get 0 < 5x - 10 < 25

------------

Solve for x

0 < 5x - 10 < 25

0+10 < 5x - 10 < 25 + 10 .... adding 10 to all sides

10 < 5x < 35

10/5 < 5x/5 < 35/5 ... dividing all sides by 5

2 < x < 7

We have x between 2 and 7, and not equal to either endpoint.

three friends all live on the same street that runs west to east. Beth lives 6 blocks from Al. Carol lives 2 blocks from Beth. I
Savatey [412]

Answer:2, -2, 6 or -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The location of Ann's house in the number line = 0,

∵ Ben lives 4 blocks from Ann.

So, the possible location of Ben's house =  4 ( right of ann's house ) or - 4 ( left of ann's house )

Now, Carl lives 2 blocks from Ben,

So, the possible location of Carl's house

Case 1 : If Ben's house location is 4 = 2 ( left of ben's house ) or 6 ( right of ben's house )

Case 2 : If Ben's house location is -4 = -2 ( right of ben's house ) or -6 ( left of ben's house )

The answer to this function
ANTONII [103]
 A function does not have an "answer."  In this case you are asked to simplify the given function as much as possible, not to "answer" it.

If f(x) = 2[sqrt(x)] + 1

the only possible simplification is to omit the brackets [   ]:

f(x) = 2sqrt(x) + 1.  END
