Answer:

-6 = x / 3 -Multiply both sides by 3

-6 * 3 = x / 3 * 3

-18 = x

Now, you can check your answer:

-6 = -18 / 3

-6 = -6

Hope this helps!

PLZZZ HELP XD WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST WHERE TO PUT THE POINT ON THE NUMBER LINE!!!!!

lana66690 [7]

Every number has its purpose in this case you start at -3 then the negative sign tells you which way you are going but since we have another negative sign in between the number we go to the right instead of left with that said you put the point in number 4

Factorise 2x^2 - 3x -2 < 0

Galina-37 [17]

Step 1: Factor $2 x^{2} - 3x -2$
1. Multiply 2 by -2, which is -4.
2. Ask: Which two numbers add up to -3 and multiply to -4?
3. Answer: 1 and -4
4. Rewrite $-3x$ as the sum of $x$ and $-4x$

$2 x^{2} +x-4x-2\ \textless \ 0$

Step 2: Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

 $x(2x+1)-2(2x+1)\ \textless \ 0$

Step 3: Factor out the common term $2x+1$

$(2x+1)(x-2)\ \textless \ 0$

Step 4: Solve for $x$

1. Ask: When will $(2x+1)(x-2)$ equal zero?
2. Answer: When $2x + 1 = 0$ or $x-2=0$
3. Solve each of the 2 equations above:

 $x=- \frac{1}{2} ,2$

Step 5: From the values of $x$ above, we have these 3 intervals to test.
x = < -1/2
-1/2 < x < 2
x > 2

Step 6: Pick a test point for each interval

For the interval $x\ \textless \ - \frac{1}{2} 
$
Lets pick $x=-1.$ Then, $2(-1) ^{2} -3 * -1 -2 \ \textless \ 0$
After simplifying, we get $3\ \textless \ 0$ , Which is false.
Drop this interval.

For this interval $- \frac{1}{2} \ \textless \ x\ \textless \ 2$
Lets pick $x=0$ . Then, $2* 0^{2} - 3 * 0-2\ \textless \ 0$ . After simplifying, we get $-2\ \textless \ 0,$ which is true. Keep this interval.

For the interval $x\ \textgreater \ 2$

Lets pick $x = 3.$ Then, $2 * 3 ^{2} -3*3-2\ \textless \ 0.$ After simplifying, we get $7\ \textless \ 0$ , Which is false. Drop this interval.

.Step 7: Therefore,
$- \frac{1}{2} \ \textless \ x\ \textless \ 2$

Done! :)

Brian has reduced his cholesterol level by 8% after his last check up. If his original level was 200, what is his cholesterol le

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

B. 184

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion is an easy way to solve this:

$\frac{100\%}{200} = \frac{92\%}{x} \\ 100x = 92(200) \\ x = 92(2) \\ x = 184$
