Answer: B. $\frac{3x}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total number of cards John and Alan has = x

The number of cards John has = $\frac{x}{4}$

Then to find the number of cards Alan has, we need to subtract the number of cards John has from the total number of cards.

Then, the number of cards John has = $x-\frac{x}{4}$

⇒ The number of cards John has = $\frac{4x-x}{4}$

⇒ The number of cards John has = $\frac{3x}{4}$

Prove 2√(x) + 1/√(x + 1) <= 2√(x+1) for all x in [0,inf)

EleoNora [17]

Start by multiplying each side of the inequality by $\sqrt{x + 1}$ and simplifying:

$2 \sqrt x + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+1}} \leq 2 \sqrt{x + 1}$
$(2 \sqrt x + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+1}})(\sqrt{x + 1}) \leq (2 \sqrt{x + 1})(\sqrt{x + 1})$
$2 \sqrt{x(x + 1)} + 1 \leq 2(x + 1)$
$2 \sqrt{x^2 + x} + 1 \leq 2x + 2$
$2 \sqrt{x^2 + x} \leq 2x + 1$
$\sqrt{x^2 + x} \leq x + \frac{1}{2}$

From here, we can square both sides to get

$x^2 + x \leq (x + \frac{1}{2})^2$
$x^2 + x \leq x^2 + x + \frac{1}{4}$
$0 \leq \frac{1}{4}$ , which is always true.

Solve for y<br> 1/2y + 1 = 2

alina1380 [7]

Hey there!

ORIGINAL EQUATION:

1/2y + 1 = 2

SUBTRACT 1 to BOTH SIDES:

1/2y + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1

CANCEL OUT: 1 - 1 because it give you 0

KEEP: 2 - 1 because it help solve for the y-value

NEW EQUATION: 1/2y = 2 - 1

SIMPLIFY IT!
1/2y = 1

MULTIPLY 2 to BOTH SIDES

1/2y * 2 = 1 * 2

CANCEL out: 1/2 * 2 because it give you 1

KEEP: 1 * 2 because it give you the y-value

NEW EQUATION: y = 2 * 1

SIMPLIFY IT!
y = 2

Therefore, your answer is: y = 2

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
