Answer:

x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First apply the -2 onto each term that it is being multiplied onto.

-2x + 6 > - 8

Now subtract six from both sides.

-2x > -14

Now divide by -2.

x < 7

<u>REMEMBER</u>

When doing greater than and less than equations like this, if you divide by a negative you must flip the greater than/less than.

What is the least common denominator of<br> 1/3 and 5/9

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Equivalent Fractions with the LCD

1/3 = 3/9

5/9 = 5/9

Solution:

Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:

1/3, 5/9

For the denominators (3, 9) the least common multiple (LCM) is 9.

LCM(3, 9)

Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 9.

Calculations to rewrite the original inputs as equivalent fractions with the LCD:

1/3 = 1/3 × 3/3 = 3/9

5/9 = 5/9 × 1/1 = 5/9

A fireman is heading towards a forest fire and needs to know how far away the fire is. The person in the fire tower can determin

hjlf

Answer: 3.82 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the shown figure, we can imagine the scene as a <u>right triangle</u>, where the tower is located at the right angle, and the fireman and the forest fire located at each of the other two vertices.

So, since we are dealing with a right triangle we can use the Pithagorean Theorem, in order to find the distance from the fireman to the fire $d$ , which is also the hypotenuse.
